Specialists in tax for the public sector
The pressure on public sector organisations has never been greater. With your financial operations under scrutiny, tax efficiency is essential. Whether you are in local government, the NHS, the police or a fire authority, we can help you control your tax costs.
We offer you direct access to senior experts in public sector tax, combining extensive technical knowledge with wide practical experience of the workings of the public sector and its partners today.
Our specialist Public Sector Group focuses on VAT, employer and sub-contractor taxes. We have particular expertise and experience in reducing your risk of incurring VAT costs and in conducting successful PAYE negotiations with HMRC, helping you to use available funds effectively and deliver quality services to your stakeholders.
We have a reputation for high quality advice, personal service and competitive rates. This is why we have experienced strong and continuing growth over the last 10 years and are now ranked No 1 for tax advice by our public sector clients.
To provide you with the most effective service for your organisation, we offer two ways of accessing our experts. You can work with us on a project by project basis to suit your immediate advisory needs or sign up to our subscription service.
Advisory
For advice on more complex issues, our in-depth knowledge and expertise is at your fingertips, offering you clear, accurate, high quality advice at competitive rates.
Through key transactions and major projects we will help you protect your funding by providing considered advice to reduce our exposure to VAT costs. We can also assist you in managing the potential risk associated with your “partial exemption” position. Above all we aim to work with you to identify and pursue savings opportunities leveraging off our extensive experience of reviewing our clients’ VAT functions.
In relation to PAYE, we can assist you by undertaking reviews, such as reviews of employment status and dispensations and the provision of advice on PAYE matters such as salary sacrifice schemes.
If you require regular ongoing assistance we are pleased to offer our subscription service, ‘Tax Support for the Public Sector’ (TSPS).
Access to our technical knowledge is available through our dedicated public sector helpline support service. Our team will be available during working hours to answer your queries by telephone, email and fax. We can provide a written response by email, if required, and there is no limit to the number of times that subscribers may use the helpline. There are also a whole host of additional benefits on offer including technical updates and free places at our annual residential conference.
