We can help you with your VAT requirements

VAT is a complex area, but it is very important to get it right as you are more than likely to get an audit from HMRC about VAT than anything else.

Received an HMRC tax enquiry?

HMRC tax enquiries and investigations can be stressful and expensive to carry out.t is vital that you get expert advice to navigate the process.

Anyone can be subject to a tax enquiry or investigation. With continued confusion as to what constitutes acceptable tax planning and what constitutes tax avoidance or evasion, HMRC have further increased the volume of their investigations to collect as much tax as possible. As a taxpayer, you may be targeted with an enquiry into historical VAT, PAYE, corporation tax or personal tax.

We can help you with the following:

• Self-assessment enquiries
• VAT enquiries
• Corporation tax enquiries
• PAYE enquiries

We can also offer tax investigation insurance.

We cannot prevent you from being investigated by the taxman, but we can help to ensure that you get the best possible support and advice.
