HMRC tax Investigations

If you are concerned about the possibility of an HMRC tax investigation or have been notified that you or your business are being investigated by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), our team can help.

Tax audits and tax investigations can be complex and stressful but having the support of an accountant who understands the process can relieve much of the pressure you may be facing. Unless you are very sure of your position, you should take professional advice as soon as a tax investigation or inspection starts to mitigate any additional tax due.

Many businesses will face a routine tax audit from time to time. However, more serious tax investigations are likely if HMRC suspects your tax returns are inaccurate. 

Tackling tax avoidance and evasion has become an increasing focus for the government, and they have recently introduced a new information gathering system to combat ongoing tax fraud. Specialist teams within HMRC have been tasked with identifying areas of tax avoidance, and it has therefore become increasingly likely that more people are likely to be subject to specific tax campaigns.

tax Investigation support

At Kingston Burrowes, we have experience in resolving all kinds of tax investigations, tax enquiries and conflicts with HMRC. Our highly qualified team are familiar with corporate tax, personal tax and specialist investigations.

With a sound understanding of your business, we can take the pressure off by dealing with HMRC directly, allowing you to focus on your core business activities. We have a detailed understanding of tax legislation, compliance and HMRC processes, ensuring that we take the most effective approach to dealing with any investigation or enquiry.

While we defend your position and navigate the complexities of the investigation, you need only have minimum contact with HMRC. Should any meetings with HMRC be required, we can conduct these at our offices and provide you with the support and guidance throughout what might otherwise be an intimidating process.

Our focus is to minimise any potential tax penalty you may face and ultimately to reach the best possible settlement with HMRC.

tax fee protection

We are also able to offer protection against the costs of a tax enquiry, in the form of our Tax Fee Protection Service.

Even if you have done nothing wrong, if an investigation is launched, it is wise to get immediate professional advice and representation from your accountant. Tax Fee Protection, gives peace of mind that your representation fees will be covered and that the matter will be dealt with by professionals to reach a satisfactory outcome.

Kingston Burrowes offers all its clients the option to purchase our Tax Fee Protection Service, in partnership with PfP Online.

By subscribing to the tax investigation fee protection service our fees will be paid for if HMRC investigate you, and you’ll be reassured to know that you are dealing with a trusted and familiar face.
