Tax Investigations
Tax investigations can be stressful, time consuming and very costly. You can trust our team of tax investigation specialists to resolve as quickly as possible any disruption and anxiety caused by an investigation by HM Revenue & Customs. It is not until the Inspector calls, that you realise you need urgent and professional advice to realistically appraise the situation and determine if the investigation is justified.
With an Ex HM Revenue and Custom's Inspector leading the Tax Investigation team, we know how the taxman thinks. You can be safe in the knowledge that we have the depth of experience with that we can manage the anxiety and risks associated with any random HMRC investigation.
At Bird Luckin, we have developed an established investigation service headed by ex Inspector, Peter Warren. Peter has more than 25 years of experience in handling and advising on investigations within the profession, following a previous career with HMRC.
We understand a client's needs and concerns and by understanding the tax inspector we can often predict his actions. We can examine whether a full investigation is justified, and support taxpayers throughout an investigation, giving a realistic appraisal of the situation.
In addition, we are able to liaise with solicitors on your behalf, and combine our detailed knowledge of technical aspects with good negotiating skills.
You don't even have to be a client - we offer this service not only to existing clients, but also to solicitors and other accountants with clients under investigation. This can range from a comprehensive service where we take over the investigation until settlement to an advisory or consultancy service.
Whatever the reason for an investigation, there is no doubt that the initial stages are critical and, if handled badly, can add significantly to the final costs in terms of tax interest and penalties, or worse still the risk of prosecution. Consequently, it is vital to get the right professional advice from the start.
If you need someone fast contact Peter or any of his tax consulting team direct for an immediate response.
