Why work with us?
Dealing with HMRC can be frustrating and time-consuming. In the year to March 2023, taxpayers and their agents spent an astonishing 798 years (7 million hours) waiting to speak to an HMRC advisor—more than double the 365 years (3.2 million hours) spent in 2020.
Correspondence handling has also fallen short of targets, with fewer than half (45.5%) of responses provided within 15 working days in 2022—well below the 80% target. Looking ahead, HMRC has acknowledged it won’t meet its telephone performance target for 2024-25, leaving customers uncertain about what to expect.
At Henderson Loggie, we do things differently. Our VAT enquiry services ensure your query is handled or updated within 48 working hours—providing the clarity and efficiency you deserve.

Alan Davis
Partner & Head of VAT
I lead our VAT advisory team, ensuring that we meet the needs of clients across all sectors – notably property & construction firms, charities and a wide range of SMEs. Having spent 16 years with HM Revenue & Customs carrying out VAT assurance visits for a wide range of businesses, I have gained considerable experience of HM Revenue & Customs inspections. Particular technical insights cover partial exemption, capital goods schemes as well as corporate transactions and general compliance.
I can help with planning opportunities for VAT efficiency and can advise our clients on potential retrospective reclaim opportunities, securing significant VAT repayments.
