Tax investigations

HMRC inspectors can choose to investigate your business's financial affairs at any time – and they don't have to give you a reason for doing so.

It may seem unfair that you invest in robust internal accounting systems and choose a diligent accountant like THP, only to become subject to a random tax investigation.

Even the fact you have been whiter than white with your tax affairs won't prevent damage to your business – you'll still have to pay for all the work carried out during the investigation that's necessary to provide HMRC with all the information it requires.

And that doesn't begin to take into account the disruption you'll experience while the tax investigation takes place.

So limit the damage by talking to a THP tax investigation specialist before you are selected for a tax investigation.

How a THP tax investigation specialist can help you

At THP, we can offer you the benefits of a preventative scheme called PFP Fee Protection Service.

PFP protects you against the costly threat of an intrusive tax investigation by giving you:

  • Up to the equivalent of £100,000 to pay our professional fees and costs incurred during HMRC investigations or disputes
  • The security of having your own accountants acting in your interest
  • Similar help if directors' or partners' personal returns are investigated, provided we act as the tax return agents and any rental income is under £50,000

If you're facing a tax investigation now, we can still help – our tax investigation specialists will advise you on the best way to handle the situation, keeping your fees and costs as low as possible.

So, don't let tax investigations wreak havoc on your business – speak to THP today. You can call a tax investigation specialist now on 0800 6520 025 or contact us using the details below.
