Tax Enquiry

Here is what you can expect and how we can help you.

HMRC has the legal right to enquire into your tax affairs. This may be due to a specific ‘red flag’ issue, a focus on your industry or your selection for a random enquiry. A letter informing you of an enquiry into your personal affairs will usually state ‘check of self-assessment return’ and refer to Section 9A of the law.

Whereas, if your company is under enquiry the letter will most likely state ‘check of company tax return’. However, HMRC will not inform you of why you have been chosen for an enquiry.

Expect the unexpected

A tax enquiry may cover a few aspects of your most recent return or could involve an in-depth analysis of your business and financial dealings.

Enquiry notice

HMRC are required by law to notify you if they intend to enquire into your tax return. Hence the letter(s).

Interview request

You may even be asked by HMRC to discuss your affairs over the telephone or be ‘invited’ to attend a meeting.

How we can help?

Letter

We will scrutinise the detail of the letter to determine the particulars and nature of HMRC’s intrusion.

Records

You will likely be asked to provide records voluntarily. We will let you know whether this request is reasonable in your circumstances.

Response

We will meet with you and construct a considered response to HMRC’s letters, keeping you informed and included in the process.

Representation

We will represent your rights and interests through the letters, telephone discussions and meetings we undertake on your behalf with HMRC, and we will be there to support you from start to finish.

Resolution

We have decades of experience championing our clients’ rights and reaching settlements with HMRC, from relatively minor matters through to full-scale tax investigations
