About speakers

Alison left university before moving to Birmingham and working and qualifying as a Chartered Tax Adviser with PwC back in 1998. On budget night, back in 1999, new legislation concerning tax relief on R&D expenditure caught her eye - and she has never looked back! Alison went on to build a national R&D tax service at PKF before starting her own business, HowarthLynch, in 2009.

By 2014, Alison’s business was one of the largest bespoke tax practices in the UK. Her ambition was to develop a larger specialist tax practice and be the largest independent tax firm in the UK. To realise this ambition, Alison sold her practice to a Fortune 500 company.

Alison took a break from corporate life in 2018 to pursue her philanthropic pursuits. She is a strategic thinker and motivational leader who likes to lead by example inspiring teams to deliver. She has a proven track record of commercial success - leading, motivating and selling. She uses these skills in the boardroom to make real changes in her frontline charity work.

Alison is the founder and trustee of the Guiding Light Foundation which now runs through the core of YesTax.

Alison’s main area’s of tax specialities are Capital Allowances, R&D Tax Relief and Patent Box.

Caroline is Head of Real Estate and Construction sector and a Corporate tax partner at Crowe UK.

Her clients range within the Corporate world across a number of industries and include property developers, international real estate investors and significant property occupiers (such as hotels and care homes). She has particular expertise in advising on the most appropriate structure taking into the business model, the various stakeholders and all of the taxes involved. Taxation of property has become increasingly complicated over the last few years with more taxes and higher rates and she has extensive experience in assessing the interaction of the various taxes.

Caroline is a member of the CIOT Property Committee and Stamp Taxes Practitioners Group.  She regularly speaks to and writes articles for trade press.

John Hood is Moore Kingston Smith’s tax dispute resolution specialist. He is expert at dealing with complex and serious tax investigations launched by HMRC, settling matters on a civil basis. In the most serious cases, this can involve limiting the risk of the enquiry being escalated to a criminal investigation. John genuinely relishes the challenge of unravelling convoluted tax scenarios and establishing a mutually satisfactory endgame.

John aims to minimise the risk for his clients, while also ensuring HMRC is operating within the tax legislation. His clients are generally owner-managed businesses and their families, high net worth individuals and those with complex affairs. Mostly clients are referred to John through their professional advisers. Some might already be the focus of an HMRC investigation, while others might want to make a voluntary disclosure to regularise the past.

With more than two decades of experience in tax dispute resolution, John has vast knowledge of HMRC’s administration and enforcement procedures. Having also previously worked at HMRC in the compliance arena, John has a deep understanding of the key strategies needed to achieve the best result for his clients.

From his clients’ point of view, John has a calming effect at what is often a stressful and emotionally charged time. They are reassured by the fact that he focuses on negotiating the best outcome for both them and HMRC. His easy manner, knack of explaining things in everyday language and sense of humanity are also valued by his clients.

John is an ICAEW Chartered Accountant who has solely specialised R&D tax relief since 2009. He was a Director at the UK’s first R&D tax consultancy firm and his next role saw him head up one of the UK’s largest R&D tax advisory teams. During this time, he managed a large client portfolio and ran an enquiry resolution service for accountants who had got into a spot of bother with HMRC with their own R&D claims.

In 2019, he formed YesTax which won The Best New Tax Practice award at the 2020 Tolley’s Taxation Awards. John is also a member of the HMRC R&D Communication Forum.

His ability to give clear and unambiguous tax advice is popular with his clients – many of whom he has advised for over a decade.

Kevin is a partner at Hardwick & Morris LLP, leading the tax advisory offering of the practice as well as providing tax advice and support to Private Clients and intermediaries/advisers who need additional tax support for themselves and their own clients. His specialisations include:

  • Advice to trustees on international tax matters.
  • The international taxation of performance, recording, endorsements/sponsorship and other income/assets for sportspersons/musicians and other entertainers.
  • Experience in back duty and Investigation work including negotiating settlements with the UK tax authorities.
