Tax Risk Management (Enquiries and Investigations)
Chris Oates heads the Ernst & Young Tax Risk Management team, which specialises in the management and resolution of contentious issues and disputes with tax authorities both in the UK and worldwide.
The team includes individuals who have worked for Large Business Services, Special Civil Investigations, the Anti-Avoidance Group, tax policy within HM Revenue & Customs, and the Treasury and Network Tax and Customs offices. We therefore have an unparalleled insight into the world of tax risk and dispute resolution. The team has a proven track record of steering clients through difficult enquiries and complex negotiations to reach successful outcomes.
In addition to assisting with all types of HMRC investigations, we also conduct health checks to ensure that your systems and procedures are robust enough to withstand HMRC scrutiny, should you be selected for enquiry.
If you or your company is subject to an enquiry, or you are interested in ensuring that your systems and procedures are robust enough to withstand HMRC scrutiny, please contact
