However innocent the initial approach, great care must be taken to ensure the scope of the enquiry is both clear and contained. Of equal importance is ensuring HMRC only act within their legal powers and understanding the approach and objectives of HMRC is key to settling any tax investigation into your financial affairs.

Apart from the financial, social and legal implications, an investigation by HMRC or dispute with them can be a highly emotive time making it difficult, as an individual, to deal with HMRC in the most objective and effective manner. Having someone who fully understands your financial circumstances, can provide you with accurate advice as to the potential outcome and the best way to resolve the dispute, and who can speak to HMRC on your behalf, not only provides important peace of mind but can be pivotal to resolving the dispute or investigation swiftly.

If you are the subject of an investigation, or believe you might be, then we urge you to get in touch as soon as possible. We provide a confidential, non-judgemental approach with the aim of minimising your liability to tax, interest and penalties and ensuring the tax investigation is concluded as quickly and as effectively as possible.
