The risk of HMRC undertaking a tax investigation continues to increase year on year. There is also a predicted increase in investigations following the rise in financial help for businesses during the coronavirus pandemic. No matter the size or age of your business or whether you have done everything to the letter of the law, HMRC can select anyone for an investigation.
Our team can assist you with an investigation as they can be complex in nature and incredibly time-consuming. Purchasing our Tax Investigation Service will cover the cost of our fees during most HMRC investigations to allow us to deal with the enquiry on your behalf comprehensively.
An HMRC enquiry can be costly due to the time commitment required from your accountant, regardless of the result that HMRC concludes. This varies hugely depending on the size and type of your business, the complexity of the transactions and the record-keeping you have in place.
By having our team by your side during an investigation, we can help provide reassurance throughout a stressful time, prepare in full for queries, through comprehensive reports and supply of evidence. In addition, we can use our extensive experience and professional judgement to help throughout any negotiations.
No one can prevent an investigation, but our tax investigation service:
Whether it’s a PAYE or VAT visit, a technical challenge, or a detailed books and records enquiry, our tax investigations service is designed to get you a fair result. It is why we strongly recommend that all our clients consider taking this insurance.
