My client is NHS VAT specialist boutique firm.
Client Details
CRS VAT is an independent firm of chartered tax advisers specialising in VAT and tax solutions for the NHS.
We are a SME, small enough to provide tailored specialist services and build lasting business relationships, but large and technically experienced enough to cater to any size of NHS body, competing with the largest blue-chip firms.
We hold ISO9001:2015 for our quality management system ("QMS"), assessed and awarded by the British Standards Institute. Our QMS consists of a quality policy, quality objectives and working procedures which are regularly reviewed and independently audited.
In recent years, we have grown to become a leading provider of VAT services to the NHS and our clients include some of the largest NHS Trusts in the country. We have achieved this by consistently identifying increased levels of VAT recovery for our NHS clients and offering a flexible, tailored professional service. We have a very strong industry reputation.
