All submissions to HMRC carry a risk of enquiry, though it is important to know this risk has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic with HMRC’s provision of grants and other financial support for clients.
If an enquiry is opened by HMRC, a response must be given, and in the event of this fees are normally charged at the hourly rate – this can mean large, unnecessary fees.
Something we offer to all our clients to consider is opting into our fee protection policy this is one small annual insurance payment that, in the event of an enquiry, means you are not charged at the hourly rate.
