How We Help During an HMRC Tax Investigation
When HMRC opens an enquiry, what you do next matters. Our role is to take control of the situation, remove uncertainty, and ensure HMRC deals with experienced specialists, not stressed taxpayers.
1. We Assess Your Situation Quickly and Clearly.
We begin with a confidential review of your position. This allows us to:
- Identify what type of investigation HMRC has opened
- Assess your level of risk and potential exposure
- Explain your options clearly, without jargon
This early clarity often prevents mistakes that make investigations worse.
2. We Deal Directly with HMRC on Your Behalf.
One of the biggest advantages of using a tax investigation specialist is representation. We:
- Communicate directly with HMRC
- Manage correspondence and deadlines
- Control the flow of information
- Challenge incorrect assumptions early
This removes pressure from you and ensures HMRC receives accurate, strategic responses.
3. We Protect Your Rights and Reduce Penalties
HMRC investigations often lead to penalties, interest, and extended enquiries, especially where responses are mishandled. Our specialists work to:
- Limit the scope of the investigation
- Reduce or eliminate penalties where possible
- Negotiate settlements when appropriate
- Prevent unnecessary escalation
This proactive approach can significantly reduce financial and emotional stress.
Specialist Help When Accountant Advice Has Gone Wrong.
A large number of HMRC tax investigations arise because of poor or negligent professional advice. Many people assume their accountant will handle everything, only to discover that mistakes have already been made. We regularly help clients where:
- Incorrect advice triggered HMRC scrutiny
- Errors appeared in tax returns or VAT submissions
- Risks were not properly explained
- Bookkeeping was inadequate or inaccurate
In these situations, relying on the same adviser can increase risk.
We Help You Recover Losses from Accountant Negligence.
If bad advice has led to penalties, interest, professional fees, or prolonged investigations, you may be entitled to accountant negligence compensation in the UK. We can:
- Review the advice you received
- Identify whether professional standards were breached
- Quantify financial losses
- Pursue compensation claims alongside resolving the HMRC investigation
This ensures you are not left paying the price for someone else’s mistakes.
Why Choose a Tax Investigation Specialist?
Unlike general accountants, we focus exclusively on HMRC tax investigations and disputes. Our role is not to prepare routine returns — it is to:
- Defend your position
- Reduce exposure
- Deal with HMRC professionally and firmly
- Resolve matters efficiently
This specialist approach is particularly valuable in complex or high-risk cases.

We support:
- Individuals under self-assessment enquiry
- Business owners and directors
- Sole traders and partnerships
- Companies facing VAT, PAYE, or corporation tax investigations
Whether the issue is simple or complex, early specialist involvement often leads to better outcomes.
