Tax Investigations and Disputes

Keeping your tax affairs in order can be a challenge and a simple discrepancy in your figures can cause HMRC to launch a tax inspection. They have never had as much power and information available to them.

Any Tax Investigation is understandably uncomfortable but we can help resolve all kinds of investigations, ranging from simple to complex inspections and are here to support you. Mitchell Charlesworth has the experience and expertise to guide you smoothly through the whole process and outline our findings and your options in simple terms. We will then outline the potential costs as well as start to deal with the tax enquiries and conflicts with HMRC.

Tax Investigation Fee Protection Scheme

Mitchell Charlesworth  provide a tax investigation fee protection scheme to ensure our clients are covered to pay for an unexpected investigation.

Why do I need the Tax Investigation Fee Protection Scheme?

Why choose the Tax Investigation Fee Protection Scheme?

If HMRC states its intention to investigate your tax payments, don’t panic.  Please get in touch wish us so we can translate the many complicated questions the taxman may pose, manage the entire conversation with the taxman, help you submit any required information and minimise the impact on your business personal accounts.
