HMRC Tax Return Enquiries

---

The majority of individuals who file annual Self Assessment Tax Returns are likely at some stage to be subject to an in-depth enquiry into Tax Return entries. This is a fact and whereas such enquiries should not be an annual event, some individuals may be selected more than once!

To date only a small percentage of our clients have been selected for enquiry. Previously, we have merely absorbed the additional costs for time spent on such work without extra charges. However, due to the increased number of cases being selected, with Britons working abroad a popular choice, we are unable to continue with this practice.

The time spent in settling enquiries now far exceeds the time covered by our fixed annual fee. Due to this we must now charge for the extra work/time carried out on such enquiries. Typically, this amounts to approximately 5 hours (@ £100.00 per hour) into 1 Tax Return.
