Tax Investigations Package.
With the average tax enquiry lasting up to 24 months, the associated costs can quickly escalate, yet the cost of not fully defending enquiries can be substantially higher.
HMRC is launching an unprecedented level of tax enquiries, using ever more sophisticated data statistics and artificial intelligence technology to target these persistent and intrusive investigations.
In the UK we live in an environment whereby the taxpayer is responsible for assessing their own tax liability.
HMRC can consider ALL aspects of taxation.
Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, you may still be selected for a detailed review of your tax affairs. It’s therefore a huge financial risk to not be protected against the growing number of HMRC enquiries.
Frequently Asked Questions.
