TAX ENQUIRIES
Previously Known As Tax Investigations

I strongly recommend that any individual or business that is selected for an enquiry by HMRC immediately seeks professional representation.  I have many years experience in dealing with inland revenue enquiries and can argue authoritatively on your behalf.  The local Tax Office or Special Compliance Office (SCO) will deal directly with me whilst I am acting as your adviser, freeing time for you to attend to your regular business affairs and alleviating some of the worry at this difficult time.

If you are subject to a Tax enquiry or accused of tax fraud and would like expert tax advice or details of how I can help, please contact me as soon as possible.

Professional Advice For Businesses and individuals selected for HMRC Enquiries.

Businesses and individuals are likely to suffer significant disruption during any tax enquiry. Dealing with an enquiry (tax investigation) can take a lot of time and much of the burden can be handed over to an experienced accountant/taxation technician such as myself.  Using a thorough knowledge of the HMRC's powers and previous experience, I can reduce the impact of the investigation and know how to limit the extent of questioning and visits by HMRC inspectors.  I can take an active and leading role representing you during any meeting that it is not possible to avoid.

Corporate and Income Tax Investigations are dealt with by experienced Inland Revenue investigators. Often an income tax self assessment investigation into traders / directors is carried out at the same time as a company tax investigation.

Where a full tax investigation is begun it might seek to examine all business records. The Revenue may ask for all private records and bank statements as part of their enquiry. It is not always appropriate or necessary to provide these and professional advice should be obtained before agreeing to such requests.

During any enquiry that I handle on your behalf, you should give me all the facts because you remain personally responsible for your tax affairs and the accuracy of any information supplied to the HMRC.
