With more sophisticated methods of investigation and wider powers, the likelihood of a HMRC tax inspection or enquiry is greater than ever.
Even if you have nothing to hide, HMRC could still choose to look into your tax affairs, which can be a lengthy and costly process. Anyone who submits a tax return could be open to investigation, and costs can run into thousands of pounds.
A fee protection insurance policy allows your own accountants to robustly defend your case if disputes arise, with the peace of mind that their costs will be covered. It means there’s no need to accept unreasonable tax charges due to concern over professional fees.
For the large part, you can let your accountant deal with the matter, leaving you to focus on running your business.
