Speak to a Tax Investigation SpecialistHow Do I Know if HMRC Is Investigating Me?
HMRC will usually contact you in writing if it opens a compliance check or tax enquiry. The letter may explain what HMRC wants to check and what information or records are required.
The request may relate to tax returns, VAT records, payroll, company accounts, bank statements, invoices, expenses, rental income, undeclared income or business records.
HMRC may ask for:
- ✓ Tax returns and computations
- ✓ Bank and credit card statements
- ✓ VAT records, invoices and receipts
- ✓ Payroll and PAYE records
- ✓ Bookkeeping records and explanations
What Are the Likely Outcomes?
The outcome depends on the records, the tax position, the explanation provided and whether HMRC considers there has been an error, careless behaviour or deliberate behaviour.
Tax Repayment
If too much tax has been paid, HMRC may issue a repayment, depending on the circumstances.
Additional Tax Due
If tax has been underpaid, HMRC may request payment of the tax, interest and possibly penalties.
Penalty or Escalation
Penalties may be considered depending on whether the issue was careless, deliberate or concealed.
