VAT

VAT stands for Value Added Tax. VAT is a form of tax applied to purchases of goods or services. In the United Kingdom, the standard rate of VAT is currently 20%. Charging VAT concerning immigration matters may depend on where you live and what immigration permission you have. We do not charge VAT for our professional services, but other third-party fees may attract VAT, which will be applied. We will confirm whether VAT (at a rate of 20%) is payable for any third-party services as soon as we become aware.

Also, our fees are subject to review and may change depending on your matter. If this happens, we will let you know in advance in writing. This could be increasing to our hourly rates in writing before any changes are applied to your matter;

• value added tax (‘VAT’) costs. Fees subject to VAT will incur the prevailing VAT rate, currently 20%. We will inform you immediately if your matter is subject to VAT and 
• disbursement costs, such as instructing an interpreter or barrister or requesting an expert report.

Some disbursements are subject to VAT at 20%. Any disbursement subject to VAT will be invoiced with the applicable VAT amount added to the disbursement.
