Specialist tax support for serious and sensitive HMRC matters
HMRC Investigations is part of Tax Accountant, a UK tax practice supporting individuals, landlords, company directors and businesses with tax compliance, disclosures, enquiries and tax disputes. This website focuses on HMRC investigation work, where the facts, records and response strategy need careful handling.
A specialist tax practice with a focused HMRC investigations service
We work with clients who need clear advice, careful review and structured support when dealing with HMRC. The purpose of this website is to separate HMRC investigation and disclosure work from general tax compliance, so clients can find relevant guidance and support without confusion.
We do not treat HMRC letters as routine admin
An enquiry, notice or disclosure issue can change direction quickly. We first identify the type of HMRC contact, the tax years involved, the legal route and the records needed.
We focus on records, facts and tax position
A good response is not simply a letter. It should be supported by documents, calculations, explanations and a clear understanding of the penalty position.
We explain the next step before action is taken
Clients should understand what is being sent to HMRC, why it is being sent, what it is intended to resolve and what risk remains.
Focused support for investigation, disclosure and dispute work
HMRC investigation work is technical, but the approach should be clear. We help clients understand the route HMRC is using, the evidence HMRC may expect and the practical steps required to protect the position.
Compliance checks and information requests
Support with HMRC compliance checks, Section 9A enquiries, Schedule 36 notices, discovery assessments and requests for records.
Correcting historic tax issues
Advice where income, gains, offshore matters, rental profits, crypto gains, company tax or VAT errors need to be disclosed.
Penalties, reviews and appeals
Help with penalty mitigation, reasonable excuse, statutory reviews, appeal strategy and preparing matters for tribunal where needed.

Structured work, clear scope and careful communication
HMRC investigation work should be controlled from the start. We define what has been asked, what needs to be checked and what can safely be said before a response is issued.
Understand the issue
We review the HMRC letter, tax years, deadlines, tax type, documents requested and any immediate risk.
Define the scope
We explain the work required, the records needed and the likely route before unnecessary action is taken.
Prepare the response
We prepare calculations, explanations, disclosure material or appeal grounds based on evidence and tax rules.
Deal with HMRC
We help manage correspondence, questions, settlement points, penalty arguments and next steps.
Clients who need more than routine processing
We support people and businesses where tax matters need careful handling, clear judgement and proper records. This includes straightforward enquiries as well as more serious cases where the response could affect penalties, disclosure behaviour or the wider HMRC position.

Independent, careful and evidence-led
HMRC Investigations is independent and is not part of HMRC or GOV.UK. The advice given on any case depends on the documents, tax years, behaviour, disclosure position and evidence available. Our role is to help clients approach HMRC matters with structure, accuracy and professional judgement.
