HM Revenue and Customs Investigations

Fee Protection Scheme

The consequences of an investigation by H M Revenue & Customs upon a business or individual can be immense. We use our expertise and experience to support you during an investigation and can deal directly with H M Revenue & Customs, negotiating on your behalf to minimise the tax and interest being demanded, obtain the lowest penalty and, in the most serious cases, avoid potential prosecution.

We provide fee insurance cover to clients to deal with the professional costs arising from investigations covering matters such as corporation and personal tax return enquiries, employer payroll compliance disputes, VAT disputes and IR35 matters.

The main details of the scheme are:

- Professional costs covered up to £75,000 for any type of enquiry
- No further excess payable on the policy after payment of the premium
- Company and all directors covered on one policy
- Partnership and all partners covered on one policy
- Cover available for individuals, Sole traders, Trusts and Clubs
- Business support helpline covering health and safety, legal and employment issues

The annual premium runs from 1st October each year and taxpayers can join at any time with the premium being reduced on a pro rata basis.
