    Contentious Tax covers disputes with HM Revenue & Customs and other tax authorities over assessments, penalties, reliefs and schemes, including VAT, corporation tax and income tax disputes. A solicitor in this area drafts statements of case, prepares and serves court or tribunal documents, negotiates settlements, collects relevant financial records, and represents clients at Tax Tribunals and, where appropriate, the High Court or Court of Appeal. The process often hinges on technical evidence and strategic cross-examination.
