APPOINTED
Steve Chamberlain has joined MHA Monahans as
senior VAT manager, bringing with him 30 years of VAT
expertise and wide first-hand experience of VAT across
numerous sectors and businesses. Steve was previously
VAT director at RSM UK and has also spent ten years as
a VAT Inspector for HM Customs and Excise (HMRC).
This appointment will bolster the firm’s VAT advisory
service and MHA Monahans’ clients across the region
will be able to access this specialist knowledge and be
confident that their VAT requirements are safely in hand.
Steve explained: “VAT can be a difficult area for
businesses as it’s complex, not intuitive and can bring
painful consequences. However, with the right advice, it
is possible to have a solution that works, doesn’t cost a
fortune and that people can understand.”
