Summary
WHAT C & B PARTNERS LIMITED OFFERS IN TAX
We trained the people who investigate you. We built the systems HMRC still uses. Now we use that insider knowledge to protect businesses, directors, and high-net-worth clients from the very system we helped design.
We do not offer ordinary tax services. We provide elite-level tax advice, strategies, planning, risk prevention and dispute resolution. Normally this advice and services are reserved for multinationals and the ultra-wealthy, provided by high priced branded firms—now made accessible to those who need it most.
What we do: Specialist services designed to manage and resolve the most difficult tax matters:
Strategic onshore/offshore compliant tax planning for companies/individuals.
Bespoke, compliant solutions that protect wealth, optimise income, and align with international tax law — for those operating across borders or under scrutiny.
Compliant group structuring for efficiencies in tax and VAT
Intelligent structuring of corporate groups to maximise tax efficiency, improve cashflow, and maintain full compliance across complex entity arrangements.
High-Net-Worth Individual (HNWI) & director level compliant tax advice and defence
Personalised advisory for those with significant assets, business interests or reputational exposure — ensuring compliance, control, and strategic foresight. (For HMRC a HNWI earns £200k plus.)
Tax risk identification and mitigation companies/individuals onshore/offshore
Expert analysis to detect and neutralise risk across your business or personal affairs — before HMRC or overseas authorities do.
Compliant technical tax advice and HMRC dispute resolution
Specialist input and strategic handling of high-risk or uncertain positions — from initial enquiries to appeals and alternative dispute resolution.
Engaging with HMRC in complex and technical HMRC enquiry defence
We engage directly with HMRC to lead, manage, and defend your position in the most demanding of cases — backed by detailed evidence and legal insight.
Expert rebuttal of procedurally defective HMRC actions
Rapid, authoritative challenges to flawed decisions, procedural irregularities, and breaches of HMRC’s own published guidance and legal obligations.
Specialist R&D tax relief advice, claim preparation, checking and enquiry defence
End-to-end support to ensure eligibility, maximise relief, and defend your position — aligned with DSIT (formerly BEIS) Guidelines and recent case law.
Full tax Tribunal preparation and representation
Comprehensive support through the litigation process — from evidential strategy to professional representation before the First-tier and Upper Tribunal.
Formal Complaints and Redress for Mishandled Enquiries
Where HMRC has caused delay, cost or injustice — we pursue accountability, correction, and reimbursement through formal complaint or redress.
C & B Partners Limited expertise has been valued in the open market, with two firms independently offering six-figure sums to hold exclusive access to the knowledge and the skills we are bringing to the open market now.
Why are we, the strategic partner you want on your side?
Most accountants are like General Practitioners. They are skilled and capable at handling everyday accounting needs, such as compliance, preparing and filing accounts/tax returns and basic tax advice. They do an essential job.
However, for new, more complex, challenging, high risk, sensitive, or potentially serious business/life-altering tax issues, you need someone with deeper extensive successful tested practical experience. Holding greater tax technical/legal knowledge. An expert on the law and HMRC processes. Someone you can consult with confidence, who can diagnose your problem and advise you on the resolutions.
C & B Partners Limited is a leading tax consultant and advisory firm, specialists but with a critical distinction:
· We trained the people who investigate you.
· We helped build and/or design some of the processes and compliance systems HMRC now uses.
· We helped write some of the rule books guidance and training materials HMRC is using.
· We designed and influenced national policy concerning key taxes.
· We helped inform the internal frameworks for risking and penalty assessment.
· We have won multi-million-pound Tax Tribunal cases.
· We helped raise professional standards
· We didn’t just learn and use the tax enforcement system—we helped build it!
So, when you're facing HMRC scrutiny, a technical dispute, or procedural imbalance, you don’t just need experience—you need someone with insider knowledge, strategic authority, and proven litigation strength. Someone capable of handling and steering tax matters that may be completely new and unheard of. Someone who can bring 50 years of established qualified experience to bear on the matter in tried and trusted approaches, or successfully in novel complaint ways.
Why our experience delivers better outcomes for clients
· We have earned credibility and authority in HMRC
· This resets the tone of engagement, ensuring clients receive appropriate attention.
· Insight that predicts escalation and identifies options
· Remedies for procedural failure
· Support that strengthens your wider team
Who we serve – and where we add the most value
· Multinational, large, medium and SMEs corporates
· HNWIs
· Accountants, tax & legal professionals, insolvency practitioners & will firms
· Company directors
· Company R&D claimants
· Professionals needing dispute resolution, appeal or Tribunal services
That’s what makes our expertise fundamentally different—and fundamentally more effective.
This is tax support and knowledge normally the exclusive preserve to the super wealthy, multinational corporates and privileged, provided by high priced premium branded firms. As former public servants C & B Partners Limited firmly believe that this knowledge and service should be available to everyone.
When it becomes adversarial, technical, or just stuck – we resolve it, and protect your interests, with vigor and the same insight we used to build and protect the UK tax system itself.
For professionals and organisations, we offer the specialist back-up you and your members need when the standard is not enough.
C & B Partners Limited are the strategic partner you want—before, during, and after any HMRC dealings.
