HMRC investigation & fee protection

The investigation process can be extremely stressful as you are required to ‘prove your innocence’ to the Inspector. It is not unheard of for an enquiry to last several years and we regularly see Inspectors trawling through not only the business records but also personal expenditure such as grocery shopping, holidays and car expenses to identify potential discrepancies. Personal tax clients are not immune either as the tax authorities regularly select individuals for investigation based on its view that they have ‘the means to pay’.

Furthermore the Revenue is increasingly gathering additional information about taxpayers from other organisations. BUPA, Gas Safe, Sun Life and even schools, colleges and auction websites were approached to provide information which HMRC utilised to identify potential targets.

Regardless of your circumstances, this work is extremely technical and will require significant time by a tax expert in order to resolve the matter with the Inspector.

Disappointingly, HMRC does not consider your costs when conducting its investigations. Even a basic tax enquiry can easily exceed £2,000 of professional fees.
