Most tax advice is backward-looking: a return filed once a year for a period that has already closed. We treat the regulatory landscape as something to review continuously, because the levers that change a tax position — the timing of income, the structure of a group, the movement of a threshold — are usually spent by the time the year ends.
We scan for eight recurring types of opportunity and risk: relief windows, definitional gaps, threshold cliffs, regime divergence, transitional provisions, cascading reliefs, regulatory silence and unintended consequences. A standard compliance checklist examines none of them directly; this structural view is what surfaces relief an annual review cannot capture.
We scan the landscape continuously; identify recoveries and positions specific to your sector, structure and history; document structuring decisions with HMRC defensibility built in from the outset rather than retrofitted; and maintain the paper trail — correspondence, legal references and contemporaneous notes — needed to defend those positions under an HMRC enquiry.
Strategic advisory is charged at 20% of net recovery, so you pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we find money. Compliance is a fixed monthly retainer from £150. M&A work is priced per project. The structure is deliberate: our incentive is to find and defend value, not to bill hours.
