Our services include utilising UAE-UK Double Tax Treaties, advising on non-resident tax obligations, and implementing asset protection strategies.

Shipleys Tax defends clients during HMRC investigations with a vigorous, non-judgmental approach. Our team includes former HMRC inspectors who handle local district cases to large-scale fraud investigations. We offer fee protection insurance covering professional fees up to First Tier Tribunal. Our specialists challenge incorrect assumptions, negotiate settlements, and ensure compliance procedures are followed, minimising disruption to clients' businesses while achieving efficient resolutions.

Asset Protection

Our asset protection services safeguard client wealth against third-party claims, divorce, and bankruptcy. We implement trust structures for family asset preservation and corporate restructuring for business asset protection. Specialising in non-UK domicile planning, we create compliant structures that balance tax efficiency with asset security. Services include succession planning, family investment company design, and anti-avoidance strategy development to ensure long-term wealth preservation without triggering HMRC scrutiny.

R&D Tax Credits

Led by an ex-HMRC R&D inspector, we help businesses claim tax credits for innovation in products, processes, or systems. Our no-win-no-fee service identifies eligible activities across sectors, including software development, manufacturing improvements, and scientific research. We prepare detailed HMRC submissions covering staff costs, materials, and subcontractor expenses, ensuring maximum returns while maintaining compliance with complex R&D tax legislation.

In addition Masood and Izzat have always been willing to take my calls and answer any questions I have and this is very much appreciated.

I have a number of businesses and have worked with a number of accountants over the last 20 years. Shipleys have been by far the best all round accountants firm I have used. I do not recommend many businesses but the service they provide warrants me to do so.
