Chiltern and Lovell Consulting form alliance

Chiltern plc – the UK’s leading independent tax adviser – has announced the formation of a strategic alliance with the specialist capital allowances firm Lovell Consulting, to provide expert advice to the corporate and high net worth sectors.

Lovell specialises in identifying and negotiating increased levels of capital allowances available on commercial property, contaminated land and green technology. Clients include ASDA, Tesco, Abbey, HMV, WH Smith, Somerfield and Bank of Ireland.

David Pert, Managing Director of Chiltern, said “This is a natural fit for Chiltern, as this very specialist skill is typical of the areas where our clients need highly focused advice to reduce their effective tax rate. We are delighted to be able to offer this enhanced service to our corporate clients.”

Lovell with its dedicated mix of tax experts and chartered quantity surveyors has rapidly built up a reputation within the UK and Ireland for effective assessment of large property portfolios, particularly in the retail and commercial property sectors.

John Lovell, Director of Lovell Consulting, added “Chiltern is an ideal partner for us. We are a capital allowances firm and our services integrate well. Chiltern has the breadth and depth of tax expertise and unlike an accounting firm, is not constrained by audit conflicts.”
