Tax dispute resolution services

Over the last decade, various legislative measures have been introduced enabling HMRC to target the users of tax avoidance and those who evade tax. There has been a high level of investment into sophisticated data mining and interrogation technologies, and thanks to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), tax authorities all over the world now share financial information of both individuals and companies.

HMRC’s access to information and its investigative capabilities are now more advanced than ever before. If you’re the subject of an HMRC investigation or enquiry, or wish to discuss historical potential irregularities, our tax experts can guide you through this potentially disruptive and frustrating time.

Our team

Our Tax Dispute Resolution specialists understand how stressful and anxiety-inducing HMRC interventions can be. Within the team we have specialists with several years of experience working at either a senior level within HMRC or settling enquiries within professional practice. We use this experience and knowledge, to help you consider your options and act quickly with the aim of reaching a successful resolution with HMRC. 

We tailor our services to meet your unique needs. This includes using your right to appeal against penalties and judgements, and assisting in cases involving suspected tax fraud, to reach a resolution under the Contractual Disclosure Facility.

How we can help

If you’re worried about an undeclared tax problem, our team can help you secure the best possible outcome. We understand how to move disputes forward with HMRC and what scope there is to settle open cases. The way we work with you means we can have a significant impact on any potential penalty amount as well as the number of years HMRC will seek to collect tax.

We can help you with:

• HMRC compliance checks, voluntary disclosures and tax disputes;
• investigations of tax fraud, criminal investigations and the Contractual Disclosure Facility; and 
• Requirement to Correct (RTC), Worldwide Disclosure Facility (WDF) and other HMRC initiatives.
 
We have tax advisers in each of our offices, who are closely supported by a panel of dedicated Tax Dispute Resolution specialists, meaning you can get the required support.
