Any self-employed individual or small business can be subject to a tax enquiry or dispute with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Even with no wrongdoing on the part of the taxpayer HMRC can conduct routine enquiries into their tax affairs. Where you use sub-contractors HMRC can go through and potentially re-classify your sub-contractors as employees and go back to earlier years and calculate the tax that should have been deducted.
The cost of defending such enquiries can potentially be large and it is important to ensure professional representation should HMRC come knocking.
Tax Enquiry Insurance will cover up to £50K of fees incurred by our specialists or your accountant in the event of an enquiry or dispute with HMRC.
A self-employed plumber received a letter from HMRC starting a full tax enquiry. HMRC believed the plumber’s income was low compared to the expenses declared. HMRC requested details of the day books so that they could contact a sample of customers to verify that what work had been completed and how the plumber was paid. The builder’s accountant was able to verify all of the expenses and how the cash was received. Fees of almost £3,000 were covered in full by the Policy.
