Tax Enquiries & Investigations

It is an unfortunate fact of business life that you may well come under enquiry by HMRC through no fault of your own or of your accountant. HMRC now investigates businesses at random as well as for specific reasons. A full investigation is not a pleasant experience for anyone and without expert advice it can be a stressful experience.

If you are selected at random, you need an accountant who knows how HMRC works and thinks and is prepared to fight your case. We will talk you through the enquiry process and what to expect and support you throughout.

The Penalties
There are various penalties HMRC can seek to impose following an enquiry for undeclared income. As well as having to pay the tax, you can find them seeking penalties up to an amount equal to the tax, so doubling your tax bill. Interest on the late payment of the tax is also part of the arrangement - not a pleasant experience. We can help you minimise these penalties.
