Tax Investigations

BDO Stoy Hayward LLP

No-one likes paying tax

Most people worry at sometime or another about their tax returns and about keeping their financial affairs in order. Sometimes, things do go wrong and if the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) inspector is on your tail, (or that of one of your clients), it can be disruptive and distressing. In the event of an investigation by HMRC, there are two pieces of advice that any experienced professional will give:

• don’t panic
• get expert help at the outset.

You and your client will need someone on your side who knows the jargon and understands how HMRC operates.

BDO Stoy Hayward’s Tax Investigation Group can provide the help required. Members of the team have vast experience in dealing with a wide range of enquiries mounted by HMRC, particularly the type of investigation undertaken by the part of HMRC currently known as Special Civil Investigations.

We can:

• assist with the disclosure process to HMRC

• avoid potential prosecutions

• negotiate monetary settlements

• bring tax affairs up to date

• put the client’s tax affairs straight to enable proper compliance going forward.
