No one can prevent an investigation, but our Tax Investigations Package will remove any concern.
How we can protect you
No one can prevent an investigation, but our tax investigations package will remove any concern about rising costs to enable us to:
- Ensure you receive the best defence to protect your tax position
- Challenge HMRC’s assertions and assumptions head on, establish that the basis of any enquiry is correct and make sure your case is handled fairly
- Ensure the tax inspector is only requesting relevant information and documents, and provide all supporting evidence from our files relating to your return
- Handle all communication with HMRC, including letters, phone calls or notices issued
- Prepare for and attend any face-to-face meetings with HMRC
- Address any complex or technical tax questions that are raised during the enquiry
Whether it’s a PAYE or VAT visit, a technical challenge or a detailed books and records enquiry, our tax investigations package is designed to get you the best possible result and is why we strongly recommend that all our clients subscribe.
What are the risks?
With the average enquiry taking up to 24 months to conclude, the associated costs can quickly escalate, yet the cost of not defending enquiries to their full extent can be substantially higher.
With HMRC forecasting an increase in compliance activity, coupled with the cost of living crisis and looming recession, it is more important than ever to ensure you’re protected against unexpected costs that could add financial pressure to your business.
HMRC enquiries are better targeted and are being undertaken with an unprecedented level of detail and persistence, with approved Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and Self-Employment Income Support Scheme payments, in particular, under the microscope.
Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, you may still be selected for a detailed review of your tax affairs. It’s therefore a huge financial risk to not be protected against the growing number of HMRC enquiries
