Description

Both Cardiff Council, and Torfaen County Borough Council (termed “the Councils”) are looking to appoint a framework of innovative providers to work alongside them to analyse and examine the spend across the Council’s Directorates to both ensure VAT compliance and be able to respond to opportunities in VAT reclamation which may arise, for example, from changes in legislation. The Councils do not necessarily have the in-house expertise or resources to identify and scope out potential opportunities for VAT reclamation, and therefore seeks a suitably qualified and experienced organisation to work in partnership to ensure that any reclamation opportunities are acted upon decisively. The services operating under this contract will be managed and administered centrally by the Revenues Department of our Resources Directorate. The services required as part of this Framework include: 1. ‘No-win-no-fee’ VAT reclamation projects - these will be either the Councils or Supplier suggested VAT related projects for which the payment mechanism will be a NWNF % of the reclaimed VAT figure. 2. Specialist tax advice on major projects – as required and directed by the Councils, and paid on a daily or hourly rate basis.

Renewal Options
