Value added tax can be a significant cost in any transaction and it is vital that the value added tax implications are properly managed from the outset and any potential cost mitigated. 

We have extensive experience of advising on the value added tax aspects of real estate transactions in their many guises, whether in the form of a direct sale or acquisition, a corporate transaction or a property fund.

We also have experience of advising on the value added tax aspects of outsourcing transactions, where the issues facing partially exempt taxpayers (e.g. in the financial sector) can only be planned for taking full account of the commercial objectives of the transaction.
