This will mean that more and more businesses and individuals are likely to be investigated by HMRC. They do not need a reason to investigate you. HMRC can investigate anyone at random.
To provide peace of mind, we run a Tax Investigation Service to help protect clients against the professional costs involved in a tax investigation or enquiry. This service is backed by an insurance policy we have taken out in our own name. A tax investigation could continue for several months or even years and can be extremely stressful.
We must stress that dealing with a tax investigation is not included in our normal annual charges and clients who do not pay for this service will be charged the cost of dealing with an investigation.
We strongly recommend you consider subscribing to our Tax Investigations Service, the cost of which is dependent on your business turnover. The government has spent in excess of £300 billion already tackling the crisis and this will likely be clawed back in either tax rises or spending cuts. However, in the short term, we expect both options to be unpalatable and so we expect a sharp rise in tax investigations to start to repair the country’s finances.
