HMRC Tax Investigation & Compliance Check Support
Received a Letter From HMRC?
An HMRC letter can relate to a specific tax return, particular transaction or a wider review of your tax affairs. The first step is to establish exactly what HMRC is asking for and the deadline for responding. HMRC may check Self Assessment returns, Company Tax Returns, PAYE records, accounts, tax calculations and other tax matters.

Our Tax Investigation Services Include
HMRC Letter Review
We review the HMRC correspondence to identify the type of enquiry, information requested and important response dates. This gives you a clearer understanding of what HMRC is examining before documents or explanations are provided.
Compliance Check Support
A compliance check is HMRC's process for checking whether the correct amount of tax has been paid and the correct allowances or reliefs have been claimed. We can help review the areas being checked, organise relevant records and prepare information needed to respond to HMRC.
Information & Document Requests
HMRC may request records, explanations or supporting documents during a compliance check. We can help identify which records relate to the request and organise the information so the response addresses the points HMRC has raised.

Common Questions Tax Investigation Support
HMRC may open a compliance check where it wants to verify whether a return, claim or wider tax position is correct. HMRC says checks can be prompted by figures or claims that appear inconsistent, although the reason will depend on the individual case.
It is a review by HMRC to check whether the correct tax has been paid and the correct allowances or reliefs have been claimed.
An authorised tax agent can deal with HMRC on relevant matters where the required authority and scope are in place.
HMRC states that the level of cooperation and disclosure can be relevant when considering penalties. However, the result depends on the circumstances and cannot be guaranteed.
There is no single duration. The time required depends on the scope of the check, the records involved, the number of issues and how quickly information can be provided.
