The number of compliance investigations conducted by HMRC has surged, reflecting its intensified efforts to collect revenue and combat tax evasion. It’s important to note that being investigated doesn’t necessarily imply wrongdoing. Anyone who has submitted a tax return could potentially be subject to scrutiny, making our tax investigation service an invaluable asset.

Many investigations are initiated randomly, while unusual financial patterns or undisclosed accounts can also trigger inquiries into individuals and companies. HMRC possesses extensive authority to inspect business documents and assets on-site, request documentation and information, conduct unannounced inspections, and investigate matters dating back up to six years. Such investigations can often prolong for a year or more, resulting in escalating costs and heightened stress levels.

If HMRC indicates its intention to investigate your tax affairs, there’s no need to panic. As your trusted accountant, we serve as your primary line of defence. We’ll decipher HMRC’s complex inquiries, handle all communications with the tax authorities, assist in providing necessary information, and work to minimize any adverse impact on your business or personal life.
