CHALLENGE PERSONAL LIABILITY NOTICES

Protecting Directors: Expert Defence Against HMRC Personal Liability Notices

Receiving a Personal Liability Notice (PLN) from HMRC is a direct threat to your personal financial security. While the "corporate veil" typically shields company officers from business debts, HMRC has the power to "pierce" this protection, holding you personally accountable for unpaid tax liabilities and penalties.

DIRECT ACCESS TO SPECIALIST LEGAL EXPERTISE

As a tax litigation solicitor specialising in HMRC disputes, I provide the high-level expertise you would expect from a top tier firm, but with the dedicated, personal service of an independent practitioner. When you instruct me, you deal with me directly, not a junior associate or a paralegal.

ARE YOU AT RISK?

HMRC can target any company officer, including:

Formally appointed Directors and Secretaries.

Shadow Directors" (those acting as directors without formal appointment).

Officers of companies currently facing insolvency.

If your company has defaulted on tax obligations, HMRC may issue a Personal Liability Notice or a Joint Liability Notice to recover funds directly from your personal assets.

HOW I CAN PROTECT YOU

Challenging a PLN requires a meticulous, evidence-led strategy. I offer a focused, agile approach to dismantling HMRC’s claims and safeguarding your assets. My services include:

STRATEGIC REVIEW

A deep dive analysis of HMRC’s evidential case for issuing PLNs. 

EVIDENCE PREPARATION

Drafting robust, technical representations to defend you against PLNs.

TRIBUNAL REPRESENTATION

Expert advocacy and representation throughout the formal appeal process at the Tax Tribunal.

Business Handshake

ACT SWIFTLY TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE

Time is your most valuable asset. HMRC operates under strict statutory deadlines, and any delay can significantly prejudice your ability to mount a successful defence.
