James Rivett KC maintains a broad tax practice, and has been particularly active in the life sciences sector, while Rupert Baldry KC covers indirect tax cases in all forms, including customs duties and stamp taxes. Jeremy White is a notable expert in matters relating to customs and international trade. Zizhen Yang supplements her VAT practice with strength in landfill tax matters, and appeared as sole counsel for the taxpayer in The Prudential Assurance Company v HMRC, a case relating to the VAT grouping regime which was before the Court of Appeal in early 2024.
