Tax Investigations In recent years, HM Revenue and Customs Compliance has developed a more aggressive approach to Tax Investigation which is based on a rigorous use of the statutory powers under the Taxes Management Act and a selection process, backed up by a comprehensive, and very detailed, computerised database.
Consequently, tax investigation has now become even more of a specialised area of operation and it needs expertise, experience and commitment to ensure that HMRC does not exceed its remit and that a Client's position is fully protected.
My experience and expertise were developed as a senior Inland Revenue Investigator in charge of an Investigation Unit , as Case Consultant for Central Yorkshire and as a member of the National Investigation Quality Assessment and Control Team. Since leaving HMRC I have acted for accountants whose clients were under investigation and also for clients without accountants. However, I do not make moral judgements about my clients . After all , anyone can make a mistake and it is my job to make sure that HMRC does not overstep the mark and try and make more of a mistake than is strictly permissible
My commitment to you is to ensure that the interests of you and your client are always paramount and that all enquiries are dealt with promptly. I take a pro-active approach to the conduct of the investigation rather than let HMRC take the initiative and I will deal with all correspondence within seven days . I maintain full and regular contact with you and your client to provide a professional and personalised service and I will make myself available at all reasonable times for visits to you or to your client as and when required.
Finally, I am pleased to provide the initial consultation free of charge .
