Being the subject of a tax investigation by HMRC can be an intrusive and demanding challenge to your tax returns and accounts. It can be a very stressful and worrying time and also a potentially costly exercise which can have a major impact on you, your family and your business. It is a truly daunting prospect.
HMRC staff can now review cases on a 'sample basis'; consequently, tax investigations have become more frequent.
We have a wealth of experience in dealing with HMRC investigations, whether they are enquiries into an individual’s Tax Return under the Self Assessment regime, more detailed enquiries or employer-related investigations into PAYE and P11d compliance. We also have dealt with a large number of compliance reviews of IHT400’s, especially for farms and estates arguing Business Property Relief (BPR) and Agricultural Property Relief (APR).
We have also seen recently a large push by HMRC to look into the equine world, especially the stud farms and the 11 year concession. We have even seen HMRC enquiries into the second year of stud businesses. Not only can we assist you in these investigations we can also provide you with proactive advice in order to ensure that should you come under investigation you have all the relevant measures in place to defend your long term venture.
If you are about to be the subject of an investigation, we can provide expert help and support.
We have successfully argued with HMRC in many areas and we have also argued on specific areas for example Business Property Relief and Hope Value and Business Property Relief on non-transfers.
We can work alongside you and your existing team of advisers or we can offer a full package accounts and tax service.
What ever your needs are, we can offer a tailor-made service.
Julie Butler, Managing Partner brings experience and expertise in the farming and equine areas.
Lucy Butler, Tax Enquiry Manager works hands-on on the day to day management and running of tax enquiries.
Malcolm Gunn, former editor of Taxation magazine and a Tax Consultant at Butler & Co, assists in providing the technical expertise.
