KinsellaTax's advisers have vast experience in managing serious investigations. You are in safe hands. We have seen it all before. You won't be the first person under a Revenue & Customs investigation and you certainly will not be the last.
Tax Investigation Specialist Help & Advice
The most important thing to remember when facing an HMRC tax investigation with is to get professional representation.
KinsellaTax is here to help you.
Bear in mind that HM Revenue & Customs has many years of know-how at being “the Tax Man”.
We have outlined below the course an investigation will take:
Opening an investigation
If you are under a personal tax investigation, they will send you a letter and will ask you to supply them with a range of business records.
DO NOT submit anything before consulting with, or appointing a tax specialist.
We advise that you DO NOT even contact them until you have had professional advice and ensure your interests are protected.
Use the old Yorkshire idiom; “When in doubt, say nowt.”
In the majority of income tax investigations, HM Revenue & Customs will request either a formal or informal meeting & interview conducted by HMRC with you.
There is no legal obligation to meet with an inspector, apart from in criminal and there is no legal obligation to meet with an inspector (apart from in criminal and Code of Practice 9 (COP9) investigations) and we recommend that no-one meet with them during this time.
They will not tell you that there is no legal obligation to attend a meeting to discuss your tax affairs and will try to persuade you to meet with them – this can do you more harm than good!
At KinsellaTax we will not allow The Revenue’s inspectors to interview any of our clients. Under no circumstances would any client meet with an inspector without a Senior Partner of KinsellaTax being present to look after our clients’ interests.
What Is The Time Limit For A Tax Investigation?
How far back? Well, HMRC tax investigation time limits vary considerably. The normal time period the revenue can go back is 5 years, 10 months after the end of the tax year. However, if they suspect fraudulent activity or negligence then this time limit can be extended to twenty years!
During the HMRC Tax investigation Procedure
We will negotiate on your behalf so that you no longer have any direct contact with them.
This will enable you to carry on living your life without the added stress of waiting for the next dreaded letter from “the Tax Man” to come through your door.
Throughout this time, the inspector is likely to ask for additional records and information. We will receive and deal with these requests on your behalf. If they can legally ask for them, then we will then request these from you.
Negotiating a settlement
We will negotiate with The Revenue to calculate the underpaid tax due and fair HMRC tax penalties.
If you do owe additional or outstanding tax you will be liable for a penalty but it is our job to get it as low as possible, and a fair one at that.
The penalty can be as much as 100% of the tax due and payable, and in some cases, it can be 200%.
If you do not owe a penny, then we will make sure that we prove that!
It is always important to appoint a professional consultant to deal with your case and KinsellaTax are experts in this area and are used to negotiating with the Revenue.
IT IS THEIR JOB!
If you do not have professional tax law representation, you may end up with larger assessments and a considerably much higher bill to pay.
The end of an investigation
Once all liabilities and penalties have been negotiated and agreed by KinsellaTax, there is only one final hurdle left to jump.
This is simply to pay your tax bill.
Pay this and then enjoy life without having a stressful investigation into your tax affairs hanging over your head.
We do not usually agree on a settlement without tax, penalty and interest being agreed between you and HMRC.
In the extremely unusual case of not being able to agree with HM Revenue & Customs, there is always the appeal to the First Tier Tax Tribunal.
