Our tax specialists provide expert investigation and dispute resolution advice and advocacy services on all aspects of UK and international taxation. Burnell Chambers advises individuals, businesses, and professional advisers on complex tax issues, principally on complex and difficult contentious matters. Our members appear in tax tribunals, the High Court, and appellate courts, offering skilled representation in disputes with HMRC and other regulatory bodies.

Key Areas:

  • Business Rates
  • Business Taxes
  • Capital Gains Tax
  • Chancery Disputes Relating to Tax (e.g. insolvency, rectification and mistake claims)
  • Corporation Taxes
  • Customs Duties
  • Income Tax
  • Inheritance Tax
  • International Tax
  • Personal and Employee Taxes
  • Professional Negligence Claims and Defence (in relation to tax advice)

  • Members of chambers have particular expertise in tax judicial review cases and commercial work arising from failed tax schemes

Our members are fully prepared to advise on the purpose of any applicable legislation; and on issues arising from the interaction and application of complex statutory provisions. This is important for all activities which are being considered by a client or their adviser, and might result in a claim for tax relief or deferring any liability to tax.

Appropriate advice is key to ensuring that transactions do not stray into the realms of DOTAS, the GAAR or targeted anti-avoidance provisions.
