Steeles Law's specialist team of lawyers dealing with HMRC claims - in particular detentions, seizures and VAT &Duty Appeals - has seen a rapid increase of instructions, on the back of recent successes.

These include securing urgent injunctions for the release of goods and successfully appealing a VAT assessment of £780,000. The team is currently acting for a number of UK and International businesses in dispute with HMRC (Customs) including French hauliers, UK suppliers and wholesalers.

Ian Robotham , Solicitor in Steeles Law's Litigation Team, comments

"We are delighted to be assisting businesses and organisations around the world (especially in Europe) in their disputes, in particular businesses whose goods and vehicles have been detained and seized.  We take all necessary steps to secure their release, and in doing so, will advise on the grounds of the detention and seizure. In addition, we can challenge and appeal assessments of excise duty and VAT issued as a result of alleged ‘irregularities’ in movements of goods".
