With HMRC receiving more information than ever, and the increasing pressure on public revenues, HMRC are expected to use the full extent of its investigatory powers to actively enquire into tax returns with the view of reducing the tax gap.
Being subject to a HMRC enquiry can be a daunting prospect, however, by obtaining professional representation we can manage the enquiry process on your behalf and ensure that you are being treated fairly and proportionately by HMRC.
Our approach
With a number of ex-senior HMRC investigators in our team, we have in-depth experience across multiple HMRC departments, and are able to present and advise you upon your options at each stage of the enquiry. We can help by informing you of the questions HMRC are likely to ask, and explaining the tax risk HMRC is likely seeking to explore, helping bring the enquiry towards a conclusion.
Our robust representation ensures you receive a fair outcome, and where any adjustment to your tax position may be required, you only pay the absolute necessary liabilities, including penalties which HMRC may charge.
