TRIM were delighted to be chosen as the "Best Tax Investigations Team" at the LexisNexis Taxation Awards 2009. These highly competitive awards are described as the "gold standard for the taxation profession" but our success came as no surprise. We have known for some time that we possess the right blend of experience, expertise and value to be able to assist clients who for whatever reason have found themselves under investigation by HMRC.
We have a Tax Investigations representative in all our office locations, closely supported by a Panel of dedicated specialists. Our experts are mainly ex-HMRC investigators and inspectors who understand the HMRC mindset and have used their skills for many years to achieve the best results for clients.
The TRIM Panel consists of:
-
Mike Down CTA heads up the team.
Mike joined Baker Tilly in 1985, having spent 10 years as an HMRC Inspector dealing with a broad range of tax investigations.
Mike lectures extensively and is a regular contributor to tax magazines and the national press.
