Why choose the CIPFA Tax Advisory Service?
The Tax Advisory Service helpline will be staffed by a team of 15 of Deloitte's regionally based Local Government tax specialists. They will be supported by a wider group of subject matter experts in other areas of the public sector such as Social Housing, Education and Health. A centralised telephone/email service will also be available so that they can respond promptly to queries.
Deloitte's tax client base within Local Government has trebled in the last two years, which we believe demonstrates their enthusiasm and commitment to understanding the issues faced by the sector and in delivering practical and timely advice. It is this approach that has enabled the Deloitte team to develop into one of the largest in the sector comprising a range of tax specialists with backgrounds in local government in-house tax, HMRC and public finance. We believe that this new, low cost and innovative service offering provides excellent value for money.
