What triggers an investigation?
HMRC claim that compliance checks are normally triggered when there appears to be an error on your tax return. It could be that if you are a company, there is a large VAT claim. If only a small amount of tax is declared by a business with a very high turnover then this could also trigger a tax investigation. There are other things which could also lead to an HMRC Investigation. These include:
- A tip-off to HMRC by an ex-business partner, friend or neighbour
- Your business receives a large amount of cash as payment
- You experience a large drop in income or a dramatic increase in costs
- Your self-assessment return is delivered late on a regular basis
- Your cost of sales is much higher than other businesses in the same industry
- Your standard of living is way higher than your tax return suggests you can afford
- Random selection – you are unlucky and HMRC have opened a tax investigation into your sector
