      Reduce the risk – take control – resolve contentious tax matters

      Tax litigation and the resolution of disputes can prove costly, disruptive and take up significant resources at the most senior levels. They can last several years: issues that don’t start out as contentious may develop over time.

      What’s more, dealing with them could have wider implications: your response might affect tax positions elsewhere in the business, and in other jurisdictions.

      Contentious tax matters: how we can help

      Responding to contentious tax matters demands specialist legal advice and support. This helps taxpayers take control of their tax disputes. Our specialist team will handle enquiries, dispute resolution or tax litigation, across all taxes.

      Our experienced team will take you through the complete tax compliance cycle. We’ll work with you and your tax team to protect against tax controversies; manage any enquiries and disputes that arise; and resolve them as successfully as possible.
