We are thrilled to announce that David McKinlay has joined S3TAX as an Associate Director, further strengthening our commitment to delivering specialist tax advice tailored to the unique needs of the housing and third sectors.
A Wealth of Expertise in VAT and the Third Sector
David brings over 22 years of VAT expertise, having started his career with HM Customs and Excise (now HMRC) in 2002. His passion for the housing and charity sectors emerged during his time at a mid-tier advisory firm, where he provided VAT consultancy services to housing associations, education providers, care organisations, and membership bodies.
Both Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) and Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) qualified, David has a proven track record of developing bespoke VAT recovery methods, managing HMRC negotiations, and delivering tailored training for staff, ensuring that every solution is as practical as it is efficient.
A Shared Vision for Sector-Focused Support
David’s appointment aligns perfectly with S3TAX’s mission to offer personalised, sector-driven tax solutions. Having previously worked alongside S3TAX directors, Colin and Ian, David shares their passion for delivering practical, client-focused services that recognise the complexities of VAT within the third sector. His approach ensures that clients receive advice tailored to their individual needs, not a generic, one-size-fits-all solution.
Trusted Voice in the Third Sector
David’s reputation extends beyond advisory work. He has presented at major industry events, including the National Housing Federation Finance Conference and the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations Finance Conference, earning respect for his ability to demystify complex VAT challenges and offer clear, actionable guidance.
Driving Value for Our Third Sector and Housing Clients
David’s extensive background equips him to provide innovative yet practical VAT solutions that help organisations optimise their VAT recovery and meet compliance requirements. His philosophy that “the most VAT-efficient solution is often the most complex” reflects his dedication to finding the right balance between compliance, practicality, and client needs.
Looking Ahead
We are excited about the additional expertise and leadership David brings to our team, and we look forward to the enhanced service offerings he will help us provide to our clients across the housing and third sectors. His deep understanding of VAT and unwavering commitment to client success make him a valuable addition to S3TAX.
