Evelyn Partners hires new VAT director

Evelyn Partners has appointed Owen Burn as a VAT director in its Bristol office.

Burn joins Evelyn Partners from PwC where he spent more than 14 years as a tax adviser assisting organisations with VAT and indirect taxes.

Prior to that he worked for HM Revenue and Customs as a customs officer.

Burn said: “I am hugely impressed with Evelyn Partners’ ambitious growth plans and entrepreneurial spirit. The energy and passion across the entire firm is what first attracted me to leave the ‘Big 4’ and I’m excited to be back partnering with the exciting and diverse mix of businesses in the South West and Wales region.”

Sunil Parmar, partner and head of indirect tax at Evelyn Partners, added: “We are delighted to welcome Burn to Evelyn Partners as a VAT director.

“Burn brings broad experience of assisting clients in all sectors with complex VAT issues and strong market presence in the South West and Wales region. This will further increase our regional presence in indirect tax and add to our expanding offering in VAT, customs duties and environmental taxes.”
