How We Work

Astute, methodical and strictly confidential approach.

At Fox Sharer, our role is to use our extensive experience of HMRC processes and procedures to ensure that you have the knowledge and support you need to move forward from this point.

A traditional ‘timeline’ would look like this:

THE LETTER

You may have already received a letter from HMRC informing you that you are under investigation or enquiry and asking you to provide information or documentation pertaining to your business. This letter is likely to have come from an HMRC Compliance Office, though the specific department that sent it could speak volumes about your case and the best way to respond.

TAKE A BREATH

You will be tempted to simply provide all the information and documentation requested, but STOP. While in most cases this will be appropriate, there may be times when it is unnecessary to do so and could even be detrimental. The first thing you should do is to take advice from a tax dispute specialist.

TAKE ADVICE

Your first port of call may be your accountant, and that’s perfectly fine because they should know your financial situation better than anyone. But your next call should be to gain specialist advice on HMRC dispute settlement, and that’s what we offer.

OUR MEETING

A face-to-face meeting in the strictest of confidence is the best forum for you to let us know about your individual situation and to show us any of your recent correspondence with HMRC. We will take the time to discuss your case and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. 

MOVING FORWARD

We’ll explain to you in plain English what is likely to happen next, and what we will be able to do to help. We will be on hand to guide you, to review ongoing correspondence from HMRC, draft responses, arrange meetings where appropriate and represent you at them, and negotiate with a view to achieving closure on your dispute.

“We were struggling with the stress of a VAT issue that our accountant just couldn’t help us with when we were recommended to Adam. Both my wife and I immediately felt calmed by his proactive approach and our confidence that he would fight in our corner. He took on HMRC for us, and month after month he’d respond to their letters and requests for meetings. He’s so experienced in these matters that I’d happily recommend him to others.”
Maya, London
“I came across Fox Sharer 5 years ago after they were recommended to me, and the first thing that struck me was their outside the box thinking, their human approach and the direct way in which they resolved our particular problem for us. Thanks.”
Gary, London
“When we had a tax issue with the Revenue Adam was there for us. Over the 2-3 years that it went on, Adam was there for us, all the way until it was resolved. When things start to look tricky you need someone with fortitude who will take ownership and get things done, Adam is one of those people.”
Francois, Surrey
“When you’ve already been let down by a professional advisor it’s difficult to trust another, and when our solicitor recommended us to Adam and his team we were in a very uncomfortable situation so we needed help. We instantly warmed to Adam’s honesty and old-school charm, and despite the mountain of complex paperwork our issue came with, he was able to adeptly untangle things and apply a considerable amount of commercial acumen and patience to get to the nub of the matter and sort it out. His eye for detail and the fact that he was always on the other end of the phone when we needed him made all the difference to us.”
Andrew, London
“When HMRC sent us letter after letter demanding information and documentation we honestly didn’t know what sort of trouble we might be in. It got so stressful that we spoke with a few advisors and Adam stood out to us as the clear choice. He immediately took charge of the situation, identified what we did and did not need to deal with, and ultimately, he made the problem go away. Adam’s experience in these matters, his calm and methodical nature, and his swift and decisive response meant that we were confident to leave things in his hands.”
Michael, Essex
“In every meeting I’ve been in with Adam I’ve been so impressed with his encyclopaedic knowledge, his commercial thinking, and professionalism. He is truly devoted to helping his clients and his deep appreciation for their rights and the way the system works ensures that he is the man you want by your side when you get an HMRC tax enquiry letter through your door.”
