VAT and the other indirect taxes are not, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer claimed when VAT was introduced in 1973, simple taxes.  They are complex and certainly, as far as VAT is concerned, cannot be looked at in isolation from the direct taxes.

Before joining Armstrong Watson Chartered Accountants in 1989, Ian served in Customs & Excise for 26 years – mainly on fraud investigation.

He is a Director of The Institute of Indirect Taxation and Chairman of the North East Chapter of the VAT Practitioners Group.

He has lectured extensively for The Financial Training Company on Environmental Taxes and has written and marked examination papers for this company and The Institute of Indirect Taxation.

Where your business is based is not an issue – Ian travels extensively throughout the UK and Northern Ireland and does not charge for travelling time, ensuring that you obtain real value for money by using his services.
