How can we help?
The cost of tax investigation advice depends on the issue, the period under review and how much information must be examined. Fees reflect the work required to establish facts, manage HMRC correspondence and clarify the overall tax position.
Tax investigations and voluntary disclosures review past tax affairs to confirm whether the correct amounts were reported and paid. The process involves checking records, applying tax rules and gathering supporting facts. Timescales vary depending on the type of tax, the periods involved and the availability of accurate information.

The common factor is a need to review past Tax Returns and records to understand tax, interest and penalties.
