Tax Investigation & VAT

The Chancellor's decision to merge the Inland Revenue and HM Custom and Excise means that they will be in better position to communicate with each other about your business and hence information can be passed from one to another. VAT investigation can be started by HM Custom & Excise as a result of an Inland Revenue enquiry.

The Inland Revenue has been empowered by tax legislation to select tax returns submitted for investigation. The reason for investigation maybe varied. Some businesses may have a higher risk of being investigated than others, due to late submission of tax returns, unexplained capital accumulation, or because purely selected at random. Whatever the reason, we have the skills and expertise to handle the investigations on your behalf, and always serve your best interest.
