HMRC Investigations

Filing your tax return could potentially lead to an enquiry by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). It might involve a tax matter or relate to a specific item of expenditure or broader concerns relating to PAYE, national insurance or a worker’s employment status.

You may find that you have been chosen at random, as part of HMRC’s routine procedures.

Also, an enquiry may arise when HMRC cross-check data that you have already provided. If you are the subject of a full HMRC enquiry, you will be required to answer more extensive questions and provide business records, which in a worst case scenario could lead to a tax investigation.

Resolving a dispute with HMRC is not only time-consuming but can disrupt your business and cause a great deal of personal stress and worry.
