Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers

Members of Chambers provide specialist tax advice and representation in tax appeals and related litigation. They are frequently instructed by accountants under the Licensed Access scheme and also accept instructions from solicitors, other regulated professionals, and, in certain cases, members of the public. Chambers appears in tax matters before tribunals and courts at all levels, and in limited circumstances in overseas jurisdictions. Barristers advise on the tax implications of a broad range of domestic and international matters, drawing on collective experience to address complex legal issues and deliver practical and current advice. Instruction at an early stage is encouraged, particularly for advisory and contentious matters, as it may assist in resolving disputes efficiently and reducing the need for extended correspondence or formal proceedings. Each barrister practises independently, although in more complex matters it is often appropriate to instruct both senior and junior counsel. Fees are generally charged either on an hourly basis or as an agreed fixed fee, depending on the nature and scope of the work. Clerks assist in identifying suitable barristers and aim to accommodate requested timescales, subject to availability. Chambers complies with applicable regulatory requirements, including client identification obligations, and maintains a formal complaints procedure in accordance with professional standards.
