Navigating HMRC Tax Investigations: How We Can Help You

Navigating HMRC Tax Investigations: How We Can Help You

Individuals and companies in the UK may come under HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) scrutiny due to the constantly changing landscape of tax legislation and compliance. Tax investigations can be difficult and complicated, and may range from standard checks to in-depth enquiries. Our knowledgeable tax advisory and accounting services can help you navigate these complexities of HMRC tax investigations.

Let’s take a closer look at the types of HMRC tax investigations you may encounter:

Random Tax Investigations:

Occasionally, HMRC may choose taxpayers for arbitrary enquiries. They do this as a part of their efforts to keep the tax system neutral and fair. If you are selected for a random tax investigation, it doesn't always necessarily mean that you did something wrong; it's just a standard check.

Single Aspect Tax Investigations:

During an aspect examination, HMRC concentrates its attention on a single element of your tax return, such as your taxable income, expenses, or capital gains from assets. These types of investigations are often used by HMRC when there are suspicions of imbalance in particular areas, especially when compared to previous years.

Comprehensive Tax Investigations:

A comprehensive or full tax enquiry like Cop9. involves a review of all your financial documents and tax affairs. A full tax investigation is often triggered by a suspicion of major tax fraud or evasion. In such cases, HMRC will examine every facet of your financial history, including your revenue, expenses, and assets, by conducting a thorough enquiry.

What Tim of MS Taxes Says –

Our director Tim Hammond says, you can handle a tax investigation with your current accountant, but if they were the cause of getting you into trouble in the first place, are they the best people to get you out of it? Forget about what they know about you and your business (I know this is why some people stay with the current accountant); it is not in their interests to get you into more trouble. By using a tax investigation expert, they know how HMRC works, take away the headache, and can get the case resolved quickly.

Any more errors at this stage, and the fines will increase. Fines are a percentage of the unpaid tax and are based on how helpful and honest your dealings with HMRC have been. It also helps to show you have changed accountants, business accounting practices, etc.
