Your tax experts
We have vast experience dealing with Revenue from routine Revenue Aspect Queries and Revenue Audits all the way through to the Tax Appeal Commission and the High Court. We handle the most contentious disputes with Revenue and have a proven track record in obtaining successful outcomes for our clients.
We were the lead tax advisers in the recent landmark High Court tax case, Deane v The Revenue Commissioners [2018] IEHC 519. This case concerned a CAT exemption under S86 CATCA 2003 commonly known as the Dwelling House Exemption.
We initially took the case to the Tax Appeals Commission (TAC) where we were successful but Revenue appealed the TAC decision to the High Court.
We were also successful in The High Court where Costello, J. found in favour of Ms. Deane.
