Clients of Champion Accountants require specialist VAT advice on a regular basis. In order to maintain our high service levels we need to provide them with a prompt resolution. Sometimes however, problems are more complex, and in these instances we have no hesitation in contacting VAT Advisers Ltd. They are always available at the end of the phone and handle our queries quickly, efficiently and professionally. I would highly recommend their services to other businesses.

I have known Steve Allen for over nine years and have found his support in all matters VAT to be invaluable in advising clients.
Alan McCann, Director of Taxation, DTE Business Advisory Services Ltd, Bury

I look forward to calling Steve, even though VAT is my least favourite topic of conversation. He is a patient listener, who provides excellent and immediate advice which is both technical and practical.  He's my first port of call whether I need a quick chat or a comprehensive opinion. I definitely recommend his firm to anyone who lacks the time, motivation or expertise to unravel this specialist tax.

Steve was recommended to me as a VAT expert shortly after he set up in practice and I have worked with him since then on a variety of projects and problems, large and small, usually needing a quick response. The best recommendation I can give is to say that when I pick up the phone with a question, I do it with complete confidence in Steve’s ability to deliver the correct response quickly.

We have used Steve to resolve difficult client VAT issues for a number of years now, and have always been very pleased with the quality of service he provides, and the way he relates to our clients when dealing with them directly. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
Peter Carlin, Partner, Thompson Jones LLP Chartered Accountants, Bury

When we first contacted Steve, we were looking for a second opinion in an area where our own research and review of HM Revenue & Customs guidance had left more questions unanswered.   Steve provided a quick concise reply to our queries, providing direction to both Revenue guidance and relevant Case Law.  He also highlighted areas which could assist in the argument.  The reply provided stability for our client to be able to continue to pursue their business plan.  We have used Steve's service again since then, and on each occasion, the replies have been so quick and clear, that we would definitely use the service again in future.

 

I have used Steve’s services for some years now, and have always found his advice timely, clear, and relevant. I have no problem with recommending to other accountants seeking this kind of advice.
