What protection is available to our clients against HMRC?

Our tax investigation service will cover our professional fees that result from most types of HMRC enquiry or investigation. Unlike some fee protection products that appoint their own advisers, this policy ensures that we can represent you throughout. We believe that we know your business best and we want to be there for you when you need us most.

Under our tax investigation service, our costs in protecting you during a tax investigation are automatically paid subject to a few specific exclusions, and we will be able to defend you in the event HMRC check your books and records or visit you to check PAYE or VAT Returns. Protection starts from the very first contact from HMRC.

What are the benefits of our tax investigation service?

Receiving a tax dispute enquiry notice from HMRC can be overwhelming. Not only can resolving a dispute be a stressful process that could last several months, but the professional fees involved in handling an investigation can also be significant.

Our tax investigation service offers peace of mind, ensuring that our professional fees are covered if you’re subject to a tax enquiry – from the first contact with HMRC right through to resolution. Apart from a few specific exclusions, any costs incurred during the investigation are automatically paid.

Whether you’re protecting yourself and your family, or your business, rest assured that our service protects you from the expense of dealing with an HMRC dispute. We’ll be by your side from the moment you need us until the investigation is resolved, up to the policy limit of £100,000.

An additional benefit of our tax investigation service is that clients will have access to a business helpline, offering immediate support. A friendly team of legal consultants, barristers, solicitors and legal executives will be available to advise on common legal issues, such as:

  • Legal contract matters
  • Landlord and tenant or property queries
  • Employment and health and safety matters

While the service is essentially provided by telephone, consultants will enter into correspondence with members where necessary. This could entail looking at any documents, which may be essential for the consultant to consider prior to giving advice, for example, contracts of employment, leases etc. Please note that the service does not extend to corresponding with third parties, only with the individual about their legal rights.
