VAT Director Rayner Essex

Jason Croke

Jason has over 20 years’ experience working exclusively in indirect taxes (VAT, import duty, SDLT) with owner-managed businesses, corporates and not for profit sectors. He particularly enjoys challenging HMRC decisions, representing clients in tribunals or during inspections.

His experience includes land and property, partial exemption and European VAT matters but equally happy with a VAT registration request too. Jason also advises on other indirect taxes such import duty and Stamp Duty Land Tax.

VAT and duty is a complicated subject, his main strength is being able to explain complex law in an easy-to-understand manner, enabling clients to understand what the problem is and crucially, what the solution is too.

It has often been said that he actually makes the subject of VAT sound interesting, but we will let you be the judge of that!

In his spare time, Jason likes cycling, regular (but not obsessive) trips to the gym, skiing in winter and hiking in the summer and is married with one teenage daughter.
