Services : Inland Revenue Investigations

The Bane of your Life!

The Revenue announced that they are going to INCREASE the number of enquiries per annum.

The risk of enquiry is due, in the main, to screening. The majority of tax enquiries are NOT generated at random; Returns are screened to identify those that are likely to require further “work” by HMRC.

The Taxman cannot answer his own queries in regard to your Tax Return. The problem here is that he cannot request information from you, under Self Assessment rules, without opening a formal enquiry.

Result: Even if he receives the right answers and it proves it was not necessary, the Enquiry is still opened.

However, there are ways to reduce this risk.

Our first step is to suggest you instruct us to complete your Tax Return. This move immediately reduces the risk of investigation (be advised it does not obviate it entirely, however it does substantially reduce the risk).

The Revenue (HMRC) have made it possible, since 2005, to “File Online”. However, ALL Tax Returns MUST be filed online by 2010.

Our job is to provide a friendly, professional service, so why not help yourself and do the wise thing? Call us on 01992 463675 and see that risk diminished.
