When HM Revenue and Customs enquire into a taxpayer’s affairs, this always creates an unsettling situation.
Quite often these are routine enquiries and quite easily solved by giving a little more background to the situation under review. However, where transactions are of a more complicated nature, it is important that professional help is obtained at an early stage to ensure that HMRC are given the information they need in a format they will understand.
We have noticed recently that HMRC are taking a more aggressive approach and indeed often step outside their boundaries when pursuing enquiries. This is a worrying trend and it is important that all enquiries are undertaken in an appropriate manner.
We are always pleased to offer a free initial consultation to see whether we can help resolve any problem with HMRC.
