Everyone fears the worst when they hear from the taxman and no one wants to be subject to an HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) enquiry.
Unfortunately, the number of tax investigations continues to increase year on year, as the tax authority faces growing pressure to recover unpaid tax and prevent avoidance and evasion.
You may not even consider that you have done anything wrong but HMRC is known to randomly conduct spot check enquiries.
If they find any anomalies this can quickly escalate into a full-scale investigation, which can be time-consuming, stressful and costly to defend.
Some enquiries can be short and relatively straightforward, but others can drag on for months or even years.
With a growing focus on public finances in light of COVID-19 and a surge of enquiries related to the various support measures, it is increasingly likely that you may be targeted.
