What people say
We take great pride in the positive feedback we receive from clients.
We have now a better handle on the matters we need to be considering and our thanks to him for this.”
We would have no hesitation in referring Raphael and his services to any of our colleagues.”
Raphael’s expertise in this area was readily apparent. He immediately reviewed all emails, letters, papers etc that we entered into with HMRC over the period. He prepared a summary of the issues at hand and explained to us in a simple manner, what he had uncovered. We agreed actions, timescales and Raphael’s fees in moving to the next phase of the project.
He drafted a detailed letter to HMRC, attaching various correspondence, putting forward his case. He liaised with HMRC and ensured the entire process was hassle free. Shortly thereafter, HMRC agreed with Raphael’s analysis of the situation and confirmed that the repayment of the earlier VAT return would be on its way. In light of this, the potential VAT penalties that HMRC was considering, also no longer fell to be applicable.
I would strongly recommend Raphael’s services in the event of your business facing VAT penalties. VAT is a “very grey area”, and the fact that HMRC may decide to raise an assessment does not necessarily mean that it is correct."
