Tax Support for Accountants

Brown Butler has built its glowing reputation on providing specialist tax advice to accountancy firms all around the UK.

We enable organisations of all sizes to provide their clients with a full-spectrum tax service, while minimising their own overheads. Our expertise ranges from capital allowances and tax investigations to R&D and private clients, covering all major and niche sectors.

If you require a second opinion on a complex area of tax, or need a full tax advisory support service on a specific transaction, please get in touch.

We’ve helped accountancy firms meet their clients’ expectations on a range of topics, including:

Capital allowances | Brown Butler can assist with claiming capital allowances on embedded fixtures in commercial properties and ensuring your clients’ position is protected whether buying or selling such properties.

Tax investigations | Quite simply, we resolve tax disputes – be they with HMRC, or between businesses or individuals. Examples of how we can help include assisting with protracted enquiries, dealing with specialist divisions of HMRC, such as Counter Avoidance, and Fraud Investigation Service (‘FIS’) COP 9 and handling cases under HMRC’s Campaigns & Projects Teams including One to Many (‘OTM’) initiatives. See the Tax Resolution pages for more information.

R&D tax credits | We have extensive experience of claiming R&D tax relief for companies across a wide variety of sizes and sectors. We can assist you in making sure your clients are maximizing the reliefs available.

Private clients | We are used to working with High Net Worth Individuals and entrepreneurs with complex tax positions and can advise in areas such as IHT planning, trusts and tax residence.

Group Restructures | We have years of experience supporting leadership teams and investors with both mergers and demergers, ensuring the needs and tax affairs of key stakeholders are considered and planned for during each transaction.
