Findings & Orders

Mr Stephen Dann ATT

The Disciplinary Tribunal, at its hearing on 3 December 2008, determined that Mr Stephen Dann, whose UK registered address is Suite 404, Albany House, 324-326 Regent Street, London W1B 3HH, was in breach of Rule 2.1.2 (performing his professional work inefficiently so as to bring discredit to himself and to the ATT); Rule 2.3.1 (failing to act with courtesy and consideration through his failure to respond to correspondence from two clients); and Rule 2.13A (failing to provide information requested by the Taxation Disciplinary Board) in the Association’s Professional Rules and Practice Guidelines 2006 (PRPG). He was also found to have provided inadequate professional service to a client, contrary to the provisions of the Taxation Disciplinary Scheme 2008.

Mr Dann runs his practice from Thailand, and complaints were received during 2008 from three clients. All the charges relating to one of those clients were found proved; one of the charges in respect of the second complainant was found proved; whilst in respect of the third complainant the Tribunal found that, while the defendant's conduct fell short of what is expected of a professional member and lacked courtesy and consideration, the complainant's very serious allegations were not supported by evidence.

The Tribunal ordered that Mr Dann be censured in respect of three of the counts which were found to be proved; that he be fined a total of £1,250; and that he should pay costs of £2,500.
