Jon Claypole
Partner, Head of Tax Dispute Resolution
Have you had a letter from HMRC suggesting that you may owe tax on offshore income and gains? Or do you think you might have not declared the right income on your tax return?
Issues with your offshore assets, foreign income, gains and transfers often come about from a mistake or misunderstanding. If you have undeclared offshore income, penalties and interest can soon pile up – and the sooner you can rectify your affairs, the better.
Before you make a disclosure, getting expert advice can help you to mitigate the risks overpaying interest or unnecessary penalties. We have spent years working on offshore tax cases, cultivating a constructive and trusting relationship with UK tax authorities to help you get an effective resolution.
Our team is made up of former senior tax investigators, specialist tax advisors and accountants, and is trusted by HMRC on consultations and policy. Our professional relationship with them is the basis of our ability to negotiate on your behalf to bring your tax disputes to a close.
Whether you think you need to make an unprompted disclosure, or you are already being chased by HMRC, our team is here to help. Book your confidential, no-obligation online consultation now, and take a step towards resolving your tax situation.
Jon has more than 30 years' experience in resolving tax disputes and is a Chartered Tax Adviser. As a former Senior HMRC inspector, his knowledge of the complexities of tax disputes is second to none.

I reached out to BDO after being stuck in a personal tax investigation that made little progress over a number of years. The BDO team set about demonstrating to HMRC that despite limited evidence showing I was outside the UK when I said I was, that was the truth. The team used their vast knowledge of the relevant technical areas to persuade HMRC that I was indeed non-UK resident. I would describe BDO’s approach as pragmatic, honest and effective. Mr S.
