Frequently asked questions

HMRC has opened an enquiry - what should I do first?

Don’t respond alone, and don’t ignore it. Speak to a specialist early. The way an enquiry is handled from the outset shapes the outcome, and we can take over correspondence with HMRC on your behalf.

What's the difference between a compliance check and an investigation?

A compliance check is a routine review of particular aspects of a return, while an investigation is more serious and wide-ranging, sometimes involving suspected fraud. We’ll assess what you’re facing and advise accordingly.

Should I make a voluntary disclosure?

If there’s an error or undisclosed liability, a voluntary disclosure is usually far better than waiting for HMRC to find it – and it can reduce penalties. We’ll advise honestly on whether and how to disclose.

Can you reduce the penalties I face?

Often, yes. Penalties depend on factors like the nature of the error and your cooperation. We negotiate with HMRC to mitigate penalties and reach a fair settlement.

Will you deal with HMRC directly?

Yes. We manage the process and correspondence for you, which reduces the stress and helps keep the enquiry focused and proportionate.
