Combating Tax Investigations

The best course of action is to minimise the risk of being chosen for an investigation. This is done by carefully reviewing your return and accounts before they are submitted to HMRC. Where necessary, explanations and additional information are provided when your return and accounts are submitted, and thus hopefully HMRC will not need to make any enquiries by formally opening up an investigation. Sometimes investigations are picked randomly, without any cause or reason to believe a return is incorrect.

If HMRC do formally open up an investigation into your return, our widely experienced and qualified staff in our Tax Department (including two ex Inspector of Taxes and a number of other ex HMRC staff) will strive to settle the enquiries with the minimum of delay and safeguarding your interests. We have extensive experience in this field.
