Tax Investigations and Enquiries from HMRC

HMRC Enquiries and Investigations

This online course explores the difficult task of co-operating with HMRC while limiting the disruption, anxiety and uncertainty that an enquiry can cause.

The course will help you to find the best way of resolving the problems with the past while minimising the cost.

HMRC enquiries and investigations are not to be taken lightly. They are an important part of your role as a finance professional, and mistakes can cost both you, your company or your clients, more than just money.

This course looks at how HMRC handle routine enquiries into self-assessment returns, through to full blown investigations into a taxpayer’s affairs.

It outlines current law and practice, and guides participants through HMRC procedures, pinpointing the role and responsibilities of the taxpayer, and their agent.
