A tax investigation is when HMRC reviews your financial affairs to ensure that the information you’ve submitted in your tax returns is complete and correct. HMRC may investigate:

•Income tax and self-assessment returns

•Corporation tax

•VAT returns

•PAYE and National Insurance records

•Capital gains declarations

 

Investigations may be triggered randomly, due to discrepancies in your returns, or as a result of third-party information. There are three main levels of tax investigation:

•Random Check – A general check regardless of risk.

•Aspect Enquiry – HMRC investigates a specific part of your return.

•Full Enquiry – A detailed review of your entire tax return and accounts.

 Whether you are individual , a sole trader or a company director, we provide tailored support at every stage of the investigation.
