We can provide expert advice, support and guidance throughout a HMRC investigation and disclosure process.
Whether it will be checks into your business accounts or your own personal tax affairs, we have over 35 years’ experience to provide you with the right technical knowledge. With our up to date understanding of the world of tax we can determine a bespoke and tailored plan that will provide you with the right solutions when dealing with HMRC.
HMRC investigations and voluntary disclosure have become more aggressive and time consuming and can take many months, even years to conclude. Last year alone £3.5bn of additional tax was generated from HMRC carrying out investigations. Our expert Tax team can offer a discreet service to entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals who may face an investigation or are going through the disclosure process.
Our approach is to ease the process and reach the best possible outcome for you. We know from experience the importance of getting the right specialist advice at the right time and we are confident that we are able to advise you on the best strategy to take to bring your tax affairs up to date.
We can assist and help with
- Tax investigations
- Discovery assessment by HMRC
- Contractual Disclosure Facility (COP 9)
- Voluntary disclosures.
