Dave Hedges

After leaving full-time education, Dave joined HM Revenue & Customs specialising in personal taxation and investigations. After almost ten years he decided to join the accountancy profession, working for Ernst and Young and Deloitte up to 2003 where he built successful teams advising employers of all sizes. 

Dave’s teams specialised in the tax efficient provision of employee remuneration and reward, and the review of employee expenses and benefits systems for businesses. This included the management and review of PAYE related enquiries conducted by HMRC. Dave has a particular interest in investigations, the provision of tax efficient benefits, termination payments to departing employees and the taxation position of individuals engaged by companies on a self-employed “consultancy” basis. Prior to joining Edge Dave spent two and a half years at BDO as a Director leading the Employment Tax Practice of the Southampton office. Before that, he co-owned a successful independent employment tax practice which, during its five year existence, was short-listed as “Best National Boutique Tax Team” in the prestigious Lexis Nexis Taxation Awards.
