HMRC enquiries are stressful. The letters are intimidating, the requests are wide-ranging, and one wrong answer can turn a small problem into a big one.

We’ve handled hundreds of HMRC enquiries — from a 30-minute aspect query to multi-year COP9 fraud investigations. Our job is to take it off your plate, deal with HMRC professionally, and minimise both the tax bill and the stress.

If you’ve just received a letter, send us a copy. The first 20-minute review is free, and we’ll tell you exactly where you stand.

The questions we get asked

Common questions.

If yours is not here, ring us. We answer in four rings on weekdays and write back the same day on emails.

01 I just got a letter from HMRC. What do I do?

Don't panic — but don't ignore it either. Send us a copy of the letter and we'll explain what type of enquiry it is, what's at risk, and what we'd do next. Most enquiries close without major issues if handled properly from the start.

02 Should I have tax investigation insurance?

If you're self-employed or a small business owner, yes — for around £150/year you cover our fees if HMRC opens an enquiry. Without it, defending even a simple aspect enquiry can cost £1,000–£3,000+ in professional fees. With it, our work is covered up to the policy limit.

03 Will HMRC charge penalties?

Possibly, depending on whether the issue was deliberate, careless, or an honest mistake. Penalties range from 0% to 100% of the tax. We negotiate hard on penalty mitigation — proper disclosure and cooperation can dramatically reduce them.
