Every year, HMRC carries out enquiries into the tax affairs of individuals and businesses across the UK.
Many people find these disruptive, intrusive, stressful and ultimately expensive. By joining our fee protection service, you will have peace of mind that we are here to help you in such an event.
Even if there is no reason for HMRC to check your tax affairs, each year, thousands of enquiries are launched and every taxpayer who submits a tax return can be subject to an enquiry. Although this won’t necessarily result in you having to pay additional taxes (sometimes a tax rebate is found to be owed to you), there’s still the matter of the professional fees and costs associated with defending the original tax return.
There’s no formula behind it either. Many tax enquiries are made entirely at random, even if your tax returns are filed on time, you are up to date with tax payments and you are confident your tax affairs are in order.
By subscribing to our fee protection service, you will be covered for the cost of our professional fees that result from most types of HMRC enquiries, including full investigations. You can find full details listed in the service summary.
Why is it important to take out protection?
- HMRC is actively increasing its number of tax enquiries in order to raise more tax revenue.
- Many tax enquiries are conducted at random so you could find yourself at the centre of a tax enquiry at any time, even if you have done nothing wrong.
- The professional fees associated with a tax enquiry can amount to thousands of pounds. These costs are additional to our normal annual fees.
- We know and understand your business and personal financial affairs and we want to provide you with the best possible defence saving you time and money in the long run.
