Career

Before Vijey commenced legal practice in 1999, he was a tax consultant in a major accounting and tax advisory company. He became a partner of the firm in 2005. Advising on all aspects of tax law, he has extensive experience in income tax, custom duties, GST, sales and service tax, real property gains tax, tax incentives and stamp duty and has provided tax advice to high profile clients from virtually every business sector.

Unlike many other tax advisers, Vijey’s experience extends to tax litigation, having successfully represented clients before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax, the Customs Appeal Tribunal, the High Court and the Court of Appeal in a wide range of tax cases, some of which have set new precedents for other cases with similar facts.

Vijey has been highly ranked in the area of Tax by Chambers Asia Pacific, and named as a Leading Individual for Tax in Asia Pacific Legal 500, a Leading Lawyer/Distinguished Practitioner in AsiaLaw Profiles, and a Highly Regarded Lawyer (formerly titled “Leading Lawyer”) in IFLR1000 (International Financial Law Review) for many years. Benchmark Litigation has also named him as a “Litigation Star”.
