< Back Business Partner, Sponsor PSTAX https://pstax.co.uk Stand 23 PSTAX is the UK’s leading specialist tax adviser to the public sector, working with local authorities and other public bodies across the country to manage tax effectively, reduce risk and make informed financial decisions. Our team brings decades of specialist public sector experience across VAT, Employment Taxes, Corporate Tax, CIS, property taxes and HMRC compliance. We provide everything from strategic advice and complex consultancy to reviews, training, e-learning and ongoing support through the PSTAX Club. As councils respond to reform, financial pressures and changes in how services are structured and delivered, tax can have a significant impact on the decisions being made. PSTAX works alongside finance teams, senior officers and transformation programmes to identify those implications early and provide practical solutions. We have particular experience supporting councils through Local Government Reorganisation, including hands-on involvement in previous reorganisations and current work with authorities preparing for structural change. Our LGR support brings the different tax workstreams together, helping councils understand priorities, responsibilities, risks and actions throughout the transition. Our partnership with Solace provides an important opportunity to bring this specialist knowledge into wider conversations about the future of local government. Through roundtables, events and shared insight, we’re working with sector leaders to ensure tax receives appropriate consideration as councils plan for change. Meet the PSTAX team at the Solace Summit to discuss the tax issues affecting your authority, from immediate challenges to longer-term reform and transformation. Previous Next
