Why Choose Cooper Parry?
Indirect tax shouldn’t just be about staying compliant; it should help your business work smarter.
At Cooper Parry, we go far beyond traditional VAT or duty advice. Alongside helping you manage compliance, maximise reliefs and deal with HMRC, we work with you to design and implement practical, tax-efficient ways of operating.
From end to end supply chain and logistics models to specialist advice tailored to your industry or business structure, our team brings decades of experience from HMRC, Big 4 and industry across VAT, customs and wider indirect taxes. And because we work closely with our wider tax specialists, we take a joined-up approach that delivers real commercial value.
Put simply: we don’t just advise on indirect tax. We help make it work better for your business.

Reviews
ANDREA, JAN 25
“I really enjoy working with Cooper Parry and value the partnership we’ve built. One area that could make our collaboration even smoother would be to review the supporting information and documents we provide before requesting them again. Additionally, having consistency in the changes requested from one scheme to another would help us work more efficiently and avoid confusion.”
JAMES, JAN 25
”Speedy responses and helped me as I was new to payroll.”
CHRIS, JAN 25
“CP took the time to understand our business – they listened. Rather than sending a ‘standard’ deliverable request, they picked up the phone to discuss first. Always good to talk.”
NIGEL, JAN 25
MARTIN, JAN 26
”Very good, very receptive , very pragmatic which is very welcome from an auditor.”
GREGORY, JAN 25
ANDY, MARCH 26
“We used the payroll service, and whilst it may seem strange that having recently changed to another provider, to give a 4 star rating, the move was simply because of commercial considerations ( the new provider becoming a sponsor of the football team). The service we had from yourselves was excellent in being exceptionally flexible given our own issues with not always giving timely details for the weekly wage comps, altering them after first draft of payroll etc. Staff often made themselves available outside office hours to complete the payment process.”
RYAN, MARCH 26
“Great team with knowledge experts that are brilliant at rallying together when there is an urgent topic that needs covering – however fees are slightly expensive vs. LFL providers/legal firms”
GUY, MARCH 26
“Always very helpful staff in terms of explaining and walking through processes with us. The audit and tasks are completed on time”
SEAN, MARCH 26
“The communication from Jess, Jo and Glen has been superb. They are all very approachable and it’s a pleasure to work with them. I also find the online portal Inflo to be very user friendly and easy to use. Communication with the more junior members of the team can sometimes be a bit of a challenge if they aren’t fully certain on the questions they ask however this is completely understandable with them being at the start of their career journey. They are also very approachable and keen to ensure the correct outcome is reached.”
