Alan Davis

VAT Partner

I lead our award-winning VAT team and cover all four offices providing specialist advice on technical VAT compliance and advisory, training and development.

Having spent 16 years with HM Revenue & Customs carrying out VAT assurance visits for a wide range of businesses – from small retailers to local authorities, I have gained considerable experience of HM Revenue & Customs inspections.

I can help with planning opportunities for VAT efficiency and can advise our clients on retrospective reclaim opportunities, securing significant VAT repayments.

Allan Easton

VAT Manager

My areas of VAT specialism are partial exemption, the capital goods scheme, and the construction sector. I also provide customs advice to our internationally focused businesses.

I enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them to navigate the specific VAT issues that are impacting them operationally, whilst providing sound advice to improve VAT efficiency and minimise risk of non-compliance.

Prior to entering the tax profession, I worked in the offshore oil industry before going on to complete my LLB in 2017.
