I have represented many taxpayers at the General Commissioners for Income Tax with a high level of success both in Investigation work and appeals against imposed penalties for late filing of documents as well as technical matters such as the rejection by HMR&C of claims to relief or allowable deductions against profit.

I have also dealt with many VAT investigations and been involved in many Missing Trader cases. I have only been instructed twice to represent traders at Tribunal hearings but won both.

I worked on and was a witness in the High Court case of Charlton & Others versus CIR.

I work i nvestigation cases every day of my working life and have a record of not only settling them speedily but often achieve high savings on the HMR&C proposals. I not only work “District” cases but many cases handled by Special Civil Investigations and Civil Investigation of fraud.

Please take the time to read Tax planning vs cheating in the Resources section.

My Book

I have recently completed the book "Everything you need to know about Tax." This is a hefty volume of nearly 300 pages providing plain language advice. Pre-publication copies are available in Word format with hyperlinks to chapters, topics and Tax case law. You can see a short extract of the book here.

If you would like a free copy of the book please email me at Peter@peterclare.com . All I ask is a discretionary charitable donation.
