Ciaran McGee, MA (Oxon), FCA, CTA, is a VAT specialist, with many years of experience of tax law.

Having been head of VAT with a top 10 firm of accountants for a number of years, Ciaran set up a specialist VAT practice, CJM Tax Consultancy Ltd, at the end of 2019. He now acts for a large number of local accountancy firms, as well as some of Northern Ireland's best-known companies.
