We recently wrote to our clients regarding the tax investigation and enquiry service that we offer.  This is designed to cover our fees in the event of an HMRC enquiry or investigation.

HMRC can open an enquiry or investigate any business or taxpayer, no matter how much care you or we as your accountants take with your affairs.  The whole process can be very time consuming and intrusive and costly, even if at the end of the day HMRC do not find anything amiss or any underpaid tax to recover.

Over the last year we have noticed an increase in HMRC investigation activities as HMRC do their best to close the tax gap that they are convinced exists. This increase in activity is not likely to decrease in the future.  HMRC are looking forward to the launch of Making Tax Digital for VAT, as they believe that this will also cut down on “error” and increase the tax take.

We would urge all of our clients to carefully consider subscribing to the tax investigation and enquiry service that we offer.  The service also gives business clients access to round the clock employment, health and safety and legal advice.
