Caroline is CTA qualified and has considerable experience both in practice and industry.  She advises RBCVAT clients on UK and international VAT/GST matters.

Caroline has a proven track record of advising on customer and supplier contracts (both in the UK and globally) to ensure they are structured effectively, in particular with a view to eliminating or minimising cross-border VAT costs and generating VAT savings for partially exempt customers.

During her time at BT plc Caroline managed BT’s VAT Compliance team and was responsible for the UK VAT Group VAT Return, which included over 80 group members. She also provided VAT advice within the business, including on Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) issues.

Caroline has dealt extensively with HMRC on matters including VAT audit queries, obtaining rulings, negotiating VAT assessment reductions and negotiating partial exemption special methods.

In response to the VAT challenges commonly experienced in industry, Caroline has worked effectively to raise awareness of VAT issues around businesses by overseeing and delivering training schemes.
