Tax Investigations Service
Protection from HMRC Investigation
We are pleased to offer a Tax Investigations Service, which is designed to provide clients with protection against the costs of an HMRC enquiry.
If selected for an enquiry we will protect you and resolve the situation within the shortest possible timeframe.
We will be able to:
- Respond on your behalf
- Deal with all correspondence from HMRC
- Prepare and defend your case against HMRC
- Negotiate the best possible outcome for you
This is likely to be a costly process with a typical enquiry lasting 19 months and costing upwards of £5,000 of professional fees. It is also extremely worrying with the recent HMRC facts and figures indicating that they will continue to become increasingly aggressive which is concerning for both businesses and personal tax clients.
As we feel it is important for all clients to have this protection in place, we are providing this protection for an affordable annual fee. For further information please contact us by calling 01609 778602 or email [email protected].
