When it comes to construction, MHA knows more than most in our sector. We’ve been behind some of the biggest high-value projects across the UK – chosen to partner with many of Britain’s premier privately owned construction firms. Our experts understand the full breadth of the challenges the industry faces – and especially, how to turn what seem like hard stops into open opportunities.
Allied to our success in construction is our work in real estate. In both specialisms, our in-depth consultative approach exposes value and limits risk. To do this, we go deep into the detail – getting to know the real substance of your business. This is true whether we’re advising on a housing association project, a niche brownfield site, or something on a much grander scale. Because we know you’re not just building for profit today, but for growth and resilience tomorrow.

Dealing with HMRC

It is common for HMRC to impose financial settlements dating back several years to collect tax, national insurance, interest and penalties on any errors that are discovered.
