Tax Investigations

Making the complex simple

Home 9 Tax Investigations

We can provide you with the support, expertise and reassurance required to deal with HMRC disputes and investigations ensuring we achieve the best result for you in the circumstances.

Compliance checks and enquiries

HMRC undertake regular checks to validate the information submitted on the more than 10 million self-assessment tax returns it receives. If you do receive a compliance check or an enquiry from HMRC, we can help you respond in the right way.  

COP8 & COP9

HMRC’s Fraud Investigation Serviceundertakes investigations under Code of Practice 8 (COP8) and Code of Practice 9 (COP9). These are serious, invasive and time-consuming investigations that can have severe consequences if mishandled, including escalation to criminal investigation and prosecution.
Should you receive a letter from HMRC under COP8 or COP9, obtaining the correct advice at the outset is often essential to ensuring a successful outcome.

HMRC Nudge Letters

HMRC’s nudge letters are becoming increasingly more common as HMRC looks to close the gap between the amount of tax collected and the amount it believes is not paid. If you receive a nudge letter you should not ignore it, but you should seek advice from an expert.

HMRC Voluntary Disclosures

A voluntary disclosure can be a powerful thing if you are aware that you have not notified HMRC of a tax liability. Approaching HMRC in the correct way (rather than waiting for them to approach you) can make a big difference to the end result.
