Tax investigations can be intimidating, and if you take our expert advice first, can often be avoided. Brewers have helped many clients through various types and levels of investigations, ranging from Income Tax and VAT, through to PAYE.

Whichever Government body instigates the investigation, talking to us at the first opportunity can reduce, or even completely eliminate the threat of a full investigation. Many investigations begin as general enquiries, and usually become full investigations only because the original enquiry wasn't dealt with promptly and accurately.

The best approach to take

Sometimes HM Revenue and Customs make general visits, to see records and evidence to back up any claims you have made. These are inspections rather than investigations, so it's important to take the right approach, to prevent a full investigation.

We suggest you contact us immediately. We'll give you help and support, and confirm which records you should supply to the Revenue or Customs as evidence.
