Tax Investigations

Being the subject of a HMRC investigation can be stressful. An investigation can take several years and can lead to serious disruption to your business or can intrude in your personal life. HMRC are tasked with increasing the revenues they collect.

This inevitably means that they are turning their attention to investigations, undertaking detailed reviews  either on a random basis, because they have reason to believe that the taxpayer has underpaid or because returns or being filed late.

Investigations can be intrusive, time-consuming and stressful, and if it is discovered that tax has been underpaid, the taxpayer will have to pay what is due plus any penalty or accrued interest.
