CRSTAX took part in the Public Sector Challenge London Bridges Walk 2026 alongside teammates from PSTAX, fundraising for national charities including the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK. Colleagues across the wider group, including S3TAX, helped push the fundraising and support the team around the event.
Taking part in the London Bridges Walk was a great way for us to back a public sector event and raise money for charities with a direct connection to the work the NHS does every day. It also reflects the mindset we bring to our client work. NHS finance teams are expected to deliver assurance, keep services running, and protect scarce resources, often with limited time and capacity. VAT and employment taxes sit right in the middle of that. When the position is clear, evidenced, and applied consistently, it supports better decisions and reduces avoidable cost. When it is not, it can create risk, rework, and pressure at exactly the wrong moment.
CRSTAX works exclusively with the NHS, supporting finance teams with VAT and employment taxes in a way that is practical, clear, and easy to apply in day-to-day decision making. That includes helping organisations get confidence in their VAT recovery position, understanding where risk sits, and making sure processes and evidence stand up when reviewed. It also includes targeted reviews that help identify opportunities, address areas of uncertainty, and reduce the chance of avoidable costs landing later.
The same principles that uphold good NHS finance sit behind how we work: stewardship of public money, accountability, transparency, and decisions that can be explained and evidenced. Supporting the Public Sector Challenge fits naturally with that, as well as giving us the chance to raise money for charities with a direct link to health outcomes and the lives of the people the NHS supports.
