Tax Investigation Services –Expert Support from Majestic Accountants

Dealing with an HMRC tax investigation can be both stressful and complex. Whether you’re an individual taxpayer, self-employed professional, or business owner, facing an investigation can lead to serious financial and legal consequences.

What is a Tax Investigation

What is a Tax Investigation?

A tax investigation is a formal inquiry conducted by HMRC to determine whether a business or individual has correctly reported their tax obligations. HMRC may review tax returns, financial records, and transactions to identify discrepancies or unreported income.

HMRC tax investigations can be categorized into three main types:

R
Full Investigation: A comprehensive review of all financial records, often targeting businesses or individuals suspected of significant tax discrepancies.
R
Aspect Investigation: A targeted review focusing on a specific area of concern, such as VAT, payroll, or expenses.
R
Random Investigation: Conducted without prior suspicion as part of HMRC’s compliance measures.

No matter the type of tax investigation, seeking professional tax investigation advice can help you achieve a favorable outcome.
