About

A first rate service…

Chartergates are the country’s leading tax, VAT and employment law experts. We specialise in technical, advisory and contentious work in the dynamic areas of tax, VAT and employment law. Chartergates was founded by Matt Boddington LL.B (Hons) and Mark Taylor LL.B (Hons), LLM who are committed to providing accurate, commercial, and robust legal advice offering client’s protection from HMRC and Employment Tribunal claims.

Confidence…

Unlike some other advisers, at Chartergates we know that the best way to serve our clients is to get out from behind our desks and represent them in Tribunals ourselves. This gives you the confidence of knowing that we back our advice to the very end and that we will not leave you in the lurch when the going gets tough.

Comprehensive…

All of our consultants are either legally qualified or hold relevant tax qualifications. We take a rounded approach to the areas we advise in. We do not believe that clients benefit from isolated advice that focuses only on tax law or employment law ignoring the other. The disciplines are intrinsically linked and clients can only be satisfied that they have received a complete service if their adviser specialises in them all.

Commercial…

Chartergates was founded to protect and enhance its clients’ commerciality. We don’t believe in just telling our clients what the law says without giving them robust and commercial solutions. Our aim is to work in partnership with you so you have accurate legal advice and can run your business in the most compliant and profitable manner.

Successful…

We strive for excellence, and we provide a comprehensive service that always puts our clients’ commerciality at the forefront of our advice. It is for these reasons that we are so successful. Our consultants have won hundreds of cases for clients in the Tax Tribunals, the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
