Tax investigations are time-consuming, stressful, and costly. As your accountant, we want to protect you. That is why we offer a tax investigation service. Our service protects you against the cost of professional fees associated with a tax investigation, as well as keeping time and stress factors to a minimum.
£35 billion is the estimated tax gap between what HMRC should collect and what it does collect. Small businesses and individuals account for over half of this tax gap, around 17.9 billion.
To help ensure tax compliance and close this gap, HMRC undertake Tax and VAT Investigations.
HOW?
HMRC identify and target areas where they believe tax is at risk. They use sophisticated software to cross match a wide range of data sources, and any anomalies can lead to an investigation. HMRC then follow them up with an enquiry, but ultimately any HMRC return can be selected for an investigation.
TYPES OF HMRC ENQUIRY
- Enquires that stem from the use of sophisticated software.
- Enquires that result from HMRC actively encouraging members of the public to report taxpayers via their hotline.
- Random enquiries that HMRC carry out, as ultimately any HMRC return can be selected for an investigation.
