Tax Investigation Services
Our expertise in tactics, policy and Revenue procedures enables us to provide an investigation service that is difficult to match.
The number of tax investigations carried out by the Inland Revenue is likely to increase sharply in the next few years as the policy of ‘process now, review later’ is implemented further. A tax investigation involves a detailed review of the individual’s business, as well as their personal financial details, and can prove to be a difficult, prolonged and stressful experience, which most taxpayers wish to avoid. In many cases clients will be chosen for investigation on a random basis and this can come as a nasty shock for many business owners.
With the expertise gained from one of our tax partners having worked for the Revenue investigations department over a number of years, we are in a strong position to advise and help our clients through potentially protracted and difficult situations such as these. We always believe that the best policy in this area is to look to co operate as much as possible with the Revenue and to look to bring the case to a satisfactory conclusion sooner, rather than latter. Long term tax investigations can have a serious effect on the profitability of the clients’ businesses and can be a major distraction from the company’s day to day and strategic management.
