Disputes and enquiries

If you are involved in a dispute with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), or are the subject of an HMRC enquiry, it can be a daunting experience.

Enquiries can vary from a few questions about a particular aspect of the tax return to a detailed examination of a specific transaction to a full investigation of every aspect of a taxpayer’s affairs.

So you need an adviser who understands both tax legislation and compliance and the way that HMRC works.

Our experience in dealing with HMRC enquiries, and knowledge of HMRC processes and procedures, means we can provide you with constructive advice and support through what can be a stressful process.

You’ll be able to focus on running your business while we liaise with HMRC inspectors to bring the investigation to a satisfactory conclusion and negotiate settlements that minimise claims for tax and penalties. Our services include:

• tax litigation support
• professional fee protection  – we offer a TaxSafe service to cover the cost of our fees in the event of enquiry
• support and advice on IR35, the tax legislation designed to ensure that an individual is not a “disguised” employee of an end client.
