Tax investigation


HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) continue to increase the number of enquiries they launch into tax returns. The resulting negotiations are time consuming and complex. They require an expert understanding of tax legislation and HMRC processes. Our experience can save you time and money if you are approached for an enquiry.

More and more people are taking an active approach to reviewing their tax affairs and recognise that they may have issues such as offshore bank accounts that need to be disclosed to HMRC. We can offer help and reassurance in dealing quickly and effectively with such matters.
