What we help with
Compliance checks
HMRC can open a check into a tax return, normally within 12 months of it being filed. We gather the evidence, answer HMRC’s questions and keep it focused.
Nudge and one-to-many letters
HMRC writes to people it thinks may have undeclared income, such as rental, overseas, online selling or crypto. We review your position and respond properly.
Voluntary disclosures
If something has been missed, telling HMRC before they find it usually means lower penalties. We use the right disclosure route, such as the Let Property Campaign or the Digital Disclosure Service.
VAT and PAYE visits
Support with HMRC VAT inspections and employer compliance reviews, including preparing your records beforehand.
How it works
- Send us the HMRC letter and we will tell you what it means and how serious it is
- We get authorisation to speak to HMRC on your behalf
- We prepare the response and supporting evidence
- We negotiate penalties, using every available reduction for disclosure and co-operation
Want your fees covered if HMRC opens an enquiry? See our fee protection service.
HMRC can usually go back 4 years, 6 years where there has been carelessness and up to 20 years for deliberate behaviour. Acting early nearly always reduces the cost.
HMRC enquiry FAQs
- I have had a letter from HMRC. Should I worry?
- Not necessarily. Many letters are routine checks or prompts. The important thing is to respond by the deadline with accurate information. Send it to us and we will explain what it means.
- Can you deal with HMRC for me?
- Yes. Once you authorise us as your agent, we correspond and speak with HMRC on your behalf.
- What if I have not declared income in the past?
- A voluntary disclosure is usually the best route. Penalties are lower when you come forward before HMRC contacts you. We will guide you through it confidentially.
