Each year HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) routinely undertake a wide range of checks into individuals and businesses to ensure they have paid the correct amount of tax.
This, coupled with a new government intent on raising millions through taxation, including recruiting thousands more staff to undertake compliance work, has increased the risk of a HMRC enquiry being opened into your affairs.
Our Tax Fee Protection Service service therefore remains an important part of our offering, giving peace of mind that our costs in responding to HMRC on your behalf will be met should you fall under their spotlight.
Tax enquiries can last for months, even years and defending you against HMRC’s detailed and time-consuming questions requires specific expertise often making it a costly exercise, even if no extra tax is payable.
We can help
If the HMRC notifies you of an intention to investigate your tax records do not worry, call us. As your trusted advisors we will put forward your best defence and minimise the impact on your business or personal accounts.
