Tax Investigations

Many personal tax investigations are carried out by HMRC’s Local Compliance teams, although other offices can be involved. These enquiries are now called ‘compliance checks’. Such enquiries can cover any aspect of a person’s potential liability to tax.

HMRC wants you to pay ‘the right amount of tax’, and carry out checks to ensure that the right amount is paid.

Unfortunately, areas of doubt or differences of interpretation of the law often arise in tax enquiries, and what HMRC considers to be the ‘right amount’ might not be considered to be the right amount as far as the taxpayer or his adviser is concerned.
