Greener Solutions Limited
We have represented an Appellant in the First Tier Tax Tribunal, where the Appellant had bought mobile phones and sold them as exports. The Tribunal accepted the Appellant’s argument that an unpaid consultant was responsible for the transactions causing the Tribunal to find that the Appellant had neither direct knowledge of a tax loss or the means to know that one existed.

We have also successfully overturned a penalty issued by HMRC that was levied against an individual who had previously been a phone trader, but had nothing to do with the company after HMRC had completed what was known as extended verification. Following the service of appeal and a request for further particulars, the penalty was withdrawn.
Millennium Cash and Carry Ltd
Aegis successfully judicially reviewed HMRC’s actions following detention of substantial amounts of duty paid alcohol, causing Millennium’s business enormous harm. Aegis were able to take forward strong arguments that the powers HMRC were using could not be used in the way officers from HMRC claimed during their detention.
Aegis are now representing Millennium in a claim for damages and have successfully established that such claim may include consequential losses such as past and future lost profits and have successfully obtained payment of interim damages.
