A tax investigation can feel overwhelming, and dealing with HMRC is something most people want to avoid. But, if you’re facing one, there’s no need to panic.

Our Tax Investigation Services

Each tax investigation is unique, and our approach is built to meet your specific needs. We know that quick, precise action is essential to avoid penalties and unnecessary stress. Here’s a closer look at what we offer:

HMRC Enquiry Support

When HMRC sends an enquiry, it can feel like a daunting task. Our specialists work with you to understand what HMRC is requesting, gather all the necessary information, and help you respond clearly and accurately, reducing the risk of further complications.

Voluntary Disclosure Assistance

If you’ve realised that you need to correct a tax mistake, voluntary disclosure can be a proactive approach. We assist with preparing and submitting voluntary disclosures to HMRC, which can often lead to reduced penalties and a quicker resolution.

Full and Aspect Enquiries

Whether HMRC is looking into a specific part of your finances (an aspect enquiry) or conducting a full review of your tax records, we’ve got you covered. Our team provides expert support for both types, ensuring all your bases are covered and that HMRC receives exactly what they need.

Code of Practice 9 (COP9) Support

COP9 cases can be serious. This investigation suggests HMRC suspects fraud but offers a chance to disclose any wrongdoings voluntarily. Our advisors are experienced in managing COP9 investigations with sensitivity and precision, helping you navigate the process with minimal impact.

Self-Assessment and Business Tax Investigation Assistance

If you’re a self-employed individual or a business owner, tax investigations can be particularly complex. We specialise in self-assessment and business tax investigations, ensuring your records and finances are in line and that any issues with HMRC are addressed effectively.
