Gepp Solicitors - Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex

If you or your business is facing a dispute with HMRC over customs duties, excise taxes, or VAT assessments, you need expert legal representation to protect your interests.

Customs and excise duties are taxes imposed on goods imported into or exported from the UK. Customs duties apply to goods brought into the country, while excise duties are charged on specific goods produced or sold within the UK, such as alcohol, tobacco, and fuel. These duties are critical for revenue generation and regulating trade practices.

HMRC have become resilient and aggressive toward any smuggling offences, therefore the Courts are also taking the same view. This means that should you find yourself in the front of Courts due to a customs and excise issue, you can face significant imprisonment sentences.

Customs and Excise law is a highly specialised area that requires in-depth knowledge and experience. Our solicitors are experts in this field, with a comprehensive understanding of the regulations, procedures, and enforcement practices that govern customs duties, excise taxes, and VAT. We are well-versed in the intricacies of HMRC’s processes and know how to challenge unfair decisions effectively.
