About Paul Marcroft

Paul Marcroft is a tax partner specialising in tax dispute resolution. He provides support and advice to clients regarding all forms of interaction with HMRC, including formal investigations and proactive disclosures. 

With over 20 years of experience in tax disputes, Paul has a clear understanding of the risks associated with dealing with HMRC. He leverages his experience of working for, and with, HMRC to secure the most beneficial outcomes for his clients.

As RSM’s leading expert on the corporate criminal offence, Paul also supports corporate clients in mitigating exposure to criminal prosecution.

Paul began his career with HMRC as an HM Inspector of Taxes in 2004. While working for HMRC, Paul held numerous senior investigation and leadership roles, dealing with high-net-worth individuals, large and complex corporates, and globally mobile individuals. Paul has worked in professional practice since 2014 and joined RSM’s tax dispute resolution services team in 2020. During his time in practice, Paul has been able to draw on his network and in-depth experience of HMRC processes to support clients through tax disputes and wider risk-related matters. Paul is a member of the Tax Crime Alliance Gold Group, a joint initiative between HMRC and advisers.

“Whether I am working with a large corporate, a high-net-worth individual or an owner-managed business, I enjoy guiding clients through the complexity of HMRC to help them resolve their tricky tax disputes. From supporting clients in mitigating the risk associated with the corporate criminal offence to managing a disclosure under Code of Practice 9, it’s very satisfying to know I am helping clients to solve a difficult problem.”

Paul is married with two young children, and they love going on holiday as a family. He spends a lot of time on a cold touchline watching his son play football and in a warm, sweaty gym watching his daughter hit a punch bag!
