Tax Investigation Specialists
If you’re facing a tax investigation, it’s important to have a specialist on your side who can help you navigate the process and protect your interests.
For many years, the risks of an in-depth tax enquiry by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have continued to increase and then so, of course, has the need for tax investigation specialists. HMRC officers are also now using new, wider powers to visit premises and inspect financial records.
As a result, tax enquiries are becoming more complex and the professional costs of defence are rising. So it is as important as it has ever been for clients to obtain protection against those costs.
A tax investigation can be a stressful and time-consuming process for any individual or business. Here at ARN Hoxton, our tax investigation specialists have the expertise and experience to assist you through every stage of a tax investigation.

What to expect
We review the letter and the years in question, agree what HMRC is entitled to see, and take over the correspondence so nothing is sent without being checked first.
Not always. Where a meeting or interview is appropriate we prepare you for it and attend with you, providing representation if needed.
Often, yes. Penalties depend on behaviour and disclosure. We negotiate with HMRC and provide evidence to support your case, working to minimise penalties and fines.
A voluntary disclosure usually produces a better outcome than being found. We quantify the position, prepare the disclosure and manage it through to settlement.
It can cost thousands of pounds to defend an enquiry, whatever the end result, which is why protection against those costs matters. We agree the scope and fee with you before starting.
