Tax Investigation Service

As you will be aware the last 12 months have provided unprecedented levels of support by the Government for lots of taxpayers by way of grants loans, and the furlough scheme.

Having already seen a number or reviews and enquiries launched by HMRC into a number of support schemes it may be important to consider the options of subscribing to the service against the costs of an enquiry that HMRC may launch into your own tax affairs.

The Spring 2021 budget also announced £100 million was being allocated for a special enquiry task force to focus on the forthcoming tax years.

Whilst no one can prevent an enquiry being launched by HMRC, having cover in place should the situation arise allows for the following:

• It will remove any concerns about the rising costs of an enquiry
• ensures that you receive the best defence to protect your tax position
• handles all communications with HMRC, including letters, phone calls or notices issued
• prepares for and attend any face-to-face meetings with the tax inspector
• argues any complex or technical tax cases that are raised during the enquiry

Whether it’s a PAYE or VAT visit, a technical challenge or a detailed book enquiry, the tax investigations service is designed to provide you with the best support possible.

For your annual subscription cost, you will be protected against professional costs associated with an HMRC enquiry.

As an added service the insurance also provides access to a 24-hour support line which covers Health and Safety support, Legal Support and HR support of all businesses and individuals who subscribe for the Tax Investigation Service.

This additional service will also be crucial in a year where the Furlough Scheme continues to operate and employment law matters become and more complicated.

Any questions you have on the above the please feel to contact the office on 01373 510020 or email info@goodingaccounts.co.uk and we will be able to help.
