HMRC Can Investigate Anyone
As the government intensifies its efforts to tackle tax avoidance and evasion, targeted tax campaigns are gaining popularity. The HMRC utilizes a centralized database called “Connect” to handle over 80% of tax queries. This comprehensive system gathers data from 30 different sources to identify any potential irregularities that might be relevant to an investigation.
Regardless of the nature of your inquiry, it is advisable to seek professional guidance at an early stage. We are here to assist you and handle all communication with the HMRC throughout the entire process.
Who is at risk
With our affordable fixed tax investigations package, you can rest assured that you will receive top-notch defense without the concern of incurring a substantial bill later on. Furthermore, our service promise guarantees comprehensive protection against any professional accountancy fees associated with representing you during an HMRC inquiry. Here are some recent statistics on tax investigations:
Small businesses
Small businesses play a vital role in the UK economy, representing 95% of all companies and employing around 14 million people.
Despite a £35m reduction in HMRC’s compliance activity spend, the tax yield from small businesses increased by £200m to £5.6bn.
Mid-sized businesses
HMRC has been targeting large businesses for many years. Now, it’s focusing more on investigating small and mid-sized businesses to increase tax revenues.
During 2018/19, the HMRC raised more than £ 4bn from mid-sized businesses – up 14% from 2018/19.
Large businesses
Large businesses generated an additional £.10bn compliance yield for HMRC.
By spending an extra £25m on compliance work in 2018/19, HMRC recouped £1bn in additional tax – a return of £40 for every extra £1 spent on compliance.
Individuals
Individuals produced an additional tax yield of £2.4bn from taxpayers with less than £150,000 in annual income and under £1m in total assets.
Wealthy individuals
Wealthy individuals yielded £1.8bn from an estimated £145m spent on compliance activity.
This equates to an 80% increase in tax generated for only an additional 7.5% spent by HMRC.
