HMRC Investigations

Being the subject of a tax or record keeping investigation by HMRC can be a stressful and worrying experience. With the onset of personal and corporate self-assessment, HMRC staff can now review cases on a 'sample basis'; consequently, tax investigations have become more frequent. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with HMRC investigations, whether they are enquiries into an individual’s Tax Return under the Self Assessment regime, more detailed VAT enquiries or employer-related investigations into PAYE and P11d compliance. If you are about to be the subject of an investigation, we can provide expert help and support.

If you have any questions regarding how we might be able to help or you simply have a question relating to VAT or an HMRC Investigation then don't hesitate to give us a call. We will be happy to help.
