As business owners, the prospect of a tax investigation by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) can be daunting. With HMRC intensifying its scrutiny of business and personal tax affairs, it’s essential to be proactive in limiting unexpected professional fees. This is where the Beavis Morgan Tax Investigation Service comes into play, offering comprehensive cover in relation to the escalating fees associated with the unpredictability of tax enquiries.
Understanding HMRC Investigations
HMRC has significantly increased its investigations into businesses and individuals, using more sophisticated methods powered by advanced technology and data analytics. These investigations can range from routine compliance checks to in-depth audits and can target any taxpayer at any time, without prior notice.
Investigations can be triggered by discrepancies in tax returns compared to other available information, random checks, or sector-specific sweeps. They can involve anything from a simple request for information to a full review of accounts and records. The scope includes, but is not limited to, VAT, PAYE, CIS, CJRS, and NMW compliance visits, as well as more comprehensive enquiries like full and aspect enquiries under various tax laws.
