Paul Malin

I have been resolving UK tax issues for over 30 years. In that time I have been asked to help taxpayers who, for one reason or another, have got themselves into trouble with HMRC.

It may be that they innocently participated in a tax avoidance scheme and now want out or they have been caught deliberately understating their income or gains. Either way they have a problem. It can be a problem for their agent as well – its good to share!
