About VATark

VATark is the trading style of Robert Killington.

I started working in indirect taxation over 30 years ago. I worked for Customs & Excise (now H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC)) for 13 years covering many aspects of the department’s work. In 1988 I left Customs & Excise to work for a firm of Chartered Accountants. I left the last firm I worked for in 2000 to set up my practice, with the objective of providing sound, pragmatic advice to businesses, charities, and other organisations affected by VAT.

Since setting up in practice I have worked, among others, for the following organisations:

• The British Council
• The Royal Town Planning Institute
• The Institute of Linguists
• The Society of Indexers
• Kingfisher plc

How I work

Initial consultations will be free and without obligation on either party to take the matter further.

My fee is based on the time spent working on a matter. I do not charge for travelling time. I do charge for travel expenses, subsistence, hotel charges, etc. I am happy to give a capped fee quote when I know what the work entails. Unless, of course, it is too difficult to determine how long the work is likely to take.

The advice given will be based on the information provided. If the full facts relating to a particular matter are not provided, the advice provided may not be the best advice for you. I may not give you the answer you want, but I will give you the correct answer.

I usually raise invoices once a month and send them by e-mail. Invoices are due for payment on presentation and I allow about thirty days for payment to be made. If payment is made much after the thirty day time frame I’m likely to add interest to the next and subsequent invoices.

I can be contacted in any of the following ways:
