An Anti-Abuse Rule covers the rules designed to stop people arranging their tax affairs to exploit gaps or loopholes in order to pay less tax. A solicitor practising this area advises on how HM Revenue & Customs may challenge or counter such schemes, drafts correspondence and representations, and helps gather evidence, schemes, and factual circumstances to support a position before the tax authority and, if needed, in dispute resolution. Work often involves disclosure, notices, and interpreting tax guidance to safeguard a client’s position.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific act or decision that protects the client’s position is the potential application of anti-avoidance provisions where schemes are designed to achieve tax outcomes that Parliament did not intend. A solicitor ensures timely consideration of relevant deadlines, advises on the evidentiary requirements, and coordinates with HM Revenue & Customs, tax advisors, and, where appropriate, the tribunals to prevent irreversible or unlawfully reduced liabilities.
