About Alison Hone, our Director
Alison Hone
Chartered Tax Advisor
Charity and Not for Profit VAT
I help Charity and Not for Profit Organisations navigate the complexities of tax issues and mitigate their VAT liabilities and maximising input tax recovery.
I have been working in VAT for over 30 years, working initially for HM Revenue and Customs as a Higher Officer.
I joined a top 20 Accountancy Firm in 2003, and started to specialise in Charity and Not for Profit VAT. Between 2017 and 2023 I was a Specialist VAT Partner. However the Pandemic and a change of location prompted me to review my career path and set up my own business.
I feel especially privileged to work in the Charity and Not for Profit sector. working with some of the largest Charity's in the UK together with many different types of Charity's including Medical, Hospices, Environmental, Wildlife and Conservation, and Animal organisations to name but a few.
​
I will be continuing to provide VAT advice, assisting with compliance, providing planning and structuring advice. Providing Health checks and assisting with HMRC inspections will also be available.
​
Please do get in contact if you would like to discuss any aspect of your organisations VAT position.
