We have teamed up with a leading insurer in the field of Tax Enquiry Protection to offer a comprehensive service that will cover our fess and those of any specialists that are required to defend you in the event of a tax enquiry, including ‘IR35’ cases.
Even if HMRC finds nothing wrong with your affairs, you can still be landed with significant costs in dealing with the enquiry, so this cover can be very valuable. Furthermore, HMRC are putting more resources into tackling ‘tax dodging’ across the board, so the risk of an enquiry is ever-present.
However, to be eligible you must have fulfilled your obligations for the relevant year under investigation (e.g. your returns filed on time) and we have to have prepared the returns in question.
Tax Enquiry Cover is included as standard at our Foundation Plus and Premier fee levels, and is available as an optional extra at our Foundation fee level. (Note, for CIS sub-contractors, it is included as standard for all eligible clients.)
