Joseph Burns

Spear’s Review

A savvy hire from HMRC (where he led on complex fraud cases and high-profile Code of Practice 9 cases), Joseph Burns arrived at Grant Thornton from Buzzacott with in-depth knowledge of both the Revenue’s statutory powers and also its approach to conducting enquiries. 

His colleagues attest that his experience enables him to make sure his clients are protected and prepared for the whole process, as well as ensuring that HMRC is operating within the confines of the law.

Burns supports his clients throughout the entire investigation process, with the aim of achieving resolution and ensuring they do not pay unnecessary tax, interest or penalties. He also assists clients to make disclosures, challenge HMRC decisions and bring long-standing investigations to a conclusion.
