Receiving a letter from HMRC about a tax investigation can be stressful and overwhelming — especially if you’re unsure what triggered the review or what your next steps should be.

Based in Southend-on-Sea, we offer local, personal support you can trust when you need it most.

What Is an HMRC Tax Investigation?

HMRC may investigate your tax affairs for several reasons. Sometimes it’s random, but often it’s triggered by discrepancies in your tax returns, late filings, inconsistencies in income, or third-party information.

There are different levels of investigation:

• Full enquiries: a deep review of your entire tax position

• Aspect enquiries: focused on one specific area, such as VAT or expenses

• Compliance checks: routine checks to ensure tax regulations are being followed

Regardless of the scope, it’s important to take any HMRC correspondence seriously and act quickly to avoid unnecessary penalties or prolonged disruption.
