Support during tax compliance checks

HMRC carries out compliance checks on a number of businesses every year. This may be because of a query on your tax return; or it might be a random check. HMRC will visit your place of business and check your accounts and tax calculations.

Tax compliance checks take up time, and can result in an unanticipated tax bill or a penalty fine. It can help to have an accountant present during the tax compliance check.

Avoiding tax compliance checks

Although HMRC checks some businesses at random, you can reduce the chance that you will attract a compliance check by ensuring that you are tax compliant.

Ensuring your business is tax compliant includes:

  • filing returns on time using the right forms
  • declaring your income accurately
  • claiming the deductions you’re entitled to
