The number of people and businesses being investigated by the various tax authorities has increased significantly. This is regarded as a convenient way to maximise tax revenue without raising tax rates.
Whilst any individual who completes a tax return could find themselves under investigation, the vast majority of investigations carried out affect owner-managed businesses.
Investigations can be extremely stressful and are potentially costly.
We use our expertise and experience to safeguard you during an investigation and help you by:
*
minimise the tax and interest being demanded and negotiate the lowest penalty
*
assist in avoiding potential prosecution
*
highlight missed tax planning opportunities and ensure the same errors are not repeated
*
Ideally you should seek advice at the earliest possible stage in an investigation, although we can help even in the later stages.
