Tax Investigation

Professional Tax Investigation Support

There are many phrases that you may have heard in relation to a tax investigation. The terms ‘enquiry’ and ‘checking the return’ are just two, but whatever term is used, any tax investigation can feel obtrusive. The process can sometimes feel like a demanding challenge to your tax returns and accounts.

What Happens In A HMRC Fraud Investigation?

There is no legal obligation to meet with an inspector, apart from in criminal and Code of Practice 9 (COP9) investigations. As tax investigation specialists, we recommend that no-one meets with HMRC during this time. In the majority of tax investigation situations, HMRC will request either a formal or informal meeting with you.

HMRC will not tell you that there is no legal obligation to attend a meeting. They will try to persuade you into a meeting with them to discuss your tax affairs.

This meeting can sometimes do you more harm than good. With our tax investigation service, we handle the meetings and correspondence for you. In cases of a personal tax investigation, our team will liaise with the HMRC on your behalf.

At MS Taxes, we will not allow HMRC’s inspectors to interview any of our clients. Under no circumstances would any client meet with an HMRC inspector without a Senior Partner of MS Taxes being present to look after our clients’ interests. Our tax investigation advisors act as the buffer between you and the HMRC, ensuring that you are fully advised and supported throughout the investigation.
