Our tax investigation solution
Tax investigations can be triggered by financial anomalies or inconsistencies, but they may also be random. Therefore, any person, or any business could face a tax investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at some point.
A tax investigation service aims to offer reassurance both emotionally and financially that in the event of an investigation you will be able to use an accountant to defend yourself.
Why choose our tax investigation service?
Our tax investigation service:
- Covers the cost of work we must do during a tax investigation.
- A tax investigation can be time-consuming and the costs associated with an investigation can be devastating. Even if you are successful in defending yourself against HMRC, you cannot recover your costs from the tax authority. With this service, you will have peace of mind should you be investigated.
- Means you have access to experienced consultants (paid for by the insurance company) to assist through the investigation to make sure it is resolved as quickly as possible using experts.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you first receive a letter from HMRC opening an enquiry, the first thing you should do is speak to an accountant. There is no point in burying your head, speak to an acocuntant first to get started with handling your tax investigation. Then, reply to HMRC with the required information as soon as possible, and before the deadline.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) usually opens an enquiry when they become aware that there is a discrepancy between your records and what they were expecting.
HMRC have a greater reach meaning that they receive information first hand from third parties to build a picture of taxpayer's finances.
HMRC also open random enquiries so your investigation may be one of those.
The length of a tax investigation depends on the type of enquiry - full or aspect, as well as the complexity of the case. It's not unusual for an enquiry to take between six months and two years from start to finish. Working with a reliable accountant will ensure you are able to respond to the tax investigation sooner and have the right records for HMRC.
