Random enquiries by HM Revenue & Customs into tax affairs can and do happen. Whether you’re an individual taxpayer or business owner, an investigation is possible, and nobody is exempt. £35.5 billion is the estimated tax gap between what HMRC should collect and what it does collect. To ensure tax compliance and to close this gap, HMRC undertakes tax and VAT investigations.
What happens during an investigation?
Once HMRC decide to investigate you must comply with their requests. HMRC will check your accounts, request a plethora of documentation, ask lots of questions and may even want to visit you in person. No additional tax may be due, but if you would like us to deal with HMRC on your behalf, representing you will incur additional fees, the exact amount will vary from enquiry to enquiry and sadly this is the case even if no further tax is due. Immediate professional representation is essential in successfully and quickly dealing with HMRC enquiries, the cost of which is not included as part of the fees you already pay.
