About Compton Taylor Morgan
CTM is a specialist tax disputes practice focusing exclusively on serious HMRC investigations, VAT disputes, insolvency issues and tax litigation. We act nationally for individuals and businesses facing high-risk, high-value matters requiring experienced judgment and strategic handling.
Our work includes VAT and Kittel disputes, discovery assessments, penalties, misfeasance and tax tribunal appeals. We regularly engage with HMRC at senior level and work alongside leading tax counsel and forensic specialists on complex cases.
CTM's approach is deliberately specialist. We take on a limited number of matters to ensure each case receives focused, senior-level attention from start to finish.

We work across the UK – including Northern Ireland – and are one of the most respected companies in our field, with an extensive UK and international client base.

Our Core Values
Great Service
We pride ourselves in our ability to not only achieve excellent results for our clients, but to also work quickly, ensure that we speak in plain English and to make ourselves available to discuss each case when it suits our clients. We also provide an initial assessment of every case free of charge so that you fully understand what can, and cannot, be achieved. We can then discuss a variety of options to ensure our fees provide value for money, such as fixed or capped fee arrangements.
High Standards
Our success speaks for itself and we are able to maintain high standards because we only employ experienced, motivated staff and only specialise in legal tax matters; we do nothing else. By focusing on this area, we are always able to know how best to manage an HMRC dispute or Tribunal appeal and what the relevant case law is.
Professional Team
Our internal structure ensures that the professionalism of our staff is monitored by the partners and directors and does not fall short of what is expected. We provide accurate, honest advice so our clients can make an informed decision as to whether to dispute an HMRC decision, or whether to reach a settlement.
Forever Learning
Our staff are highly skilled, but we ensure that we are always up to date with HMRC procedure, new legislation and relevant caselaw. In fact, we only employ staff who have a desire to keep learning.
