Tax

Rebekah is currently undertaking a part-time placement with HMRC. She is undertaking drafting work in both direct and indirect tax matters. This has exposed her to a wide range of tax matters. In particular Rebekah has had experience in the following:

 

  • Drafted a skeleton argument in a customs and excise case, where HMRC successfully proved the client to have been dishonest.
  • Drafted a skeleton argument in case where HMRC argued that an appellant was not entitled to Business Asset Disposal Relief because they failed to satisfy s169s(3)(b) Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.
  • Drafted a statement of case in a case disallowing input tax for a purported start up on the basis that the evidence showed no intention to make taxable supplies.
  • Drafted a statement of case arguing deliberate but not concealed and careless in relation to VAT input submissions.

Prior to this placement, Rebekah was instructed as junior for HMRC and assisted with the drafting of the position statement in a Labour Supply Fraud case, alongside Laura Inglis. This drew upon Rebekah’s experience during pupillage in which she assisted Sarabjit Singh KC and Isabel McArdle in drafting a skeleton argument on behalf of the Claimant and written advice on behalf of a Respondent in VAT Judicial Review cases. Rebekah is keen to continue developing her practice in this area.
