I decided to work with UK VAT Advice because I had built a business relationship with Debra Dougal (VAT Partner) through UK200. I had a problem which involved a Spanish firm of architects who had arranged for building work to be carried out on the UK branch of the Spanish bank and HMRC had challenged their request for a refund of input VAT. Debra consulted another colleague as the point was fairly arcane and as a result we were able to provide HMRC with the relevant legislation which then enabled them to process the input VAT claim. It was an unusual situation and without the specialist advice from UK VAT Advice we would not have been able to intervene.
