Accountancy Negligence
When you hire an accountant, you place your trust in their expertise to keep you compliant, minimise your tax liabilities, and protect you from HMRC scrutiny.
Unfortunately, not all accountants live up to these responsibilities. Bad advice, careless mistakes, or a complete lack of guidance can leave you exposed to penalties, investigations, and unnecessary financial losses.
If financial advice or accountancy negligence can be proved, we can claim compensation through their professional indemnity insurance. To check whether you are eligible, get in touch.
How Accountancy Negligence Affects You
Poor accountancy support can cause issues in almost every area of tax, including:
- VAT errors and incorrect treatments.
- Mishandled expenses and director’s loans.
- PAYE and payroll mistakes.
- Wrong advice on IR35 or CIS obligations.
- Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains errors.
- Mishandled COP9 disclosures.
- Simply failing to provide the guidance you need.
The consequences can range from unexpected tax bills and penalties to full-scale HMRC investigations. In every case, it’s the client who suffers, even though they relied on professional advice.
