Tax
investigations can happen to anyone, whether you’re an individual or in
business.
And, regardless of whether you’ve been
compliant or not, they’re on the increase.
Why? Because HMRC is working hard to collect more
revenue than ever before. No longer is its role to only ensure that you or your
business paid the right amount of tax; its key objective now seems to be to
maximise the amount of revenue it can collect from taxpayers.
In the last
financial year, HMRC generated a record £28.9bn from challenging accounts, tax
returns and business records – simply by upping the number of compliance
checks, enquiries and investigations conducted.
Not only that, thanks
to global tax authorities liaising more closely with one another and the burgeoning
amounts of data now available to HMRC, your chances of being selected for an
enquiry have also increased dramatically.
It could be due
to the nature of your business, where you live, your rental property or because
HMRC has decided to target your particular profession – or simply through being
selected completely at random!
So, how well would you fare in a HMRC
tax investigation?
Could you successfully defend your
case?
And, with in-depth tax enquiries lasting well
over a year and able to run up thousands of £££s in professional fees (even if you’ve
no case to answer), would your resources
stretch to see it through properly?
