Join our recent webinar 'Under HMRC's Spotlight - VAT Enquiries, Tax Investigations & Managing Risk' covered by our Tax Risks and Investigations Director Graham Caddock and VAT Manager Adamas Amechanos.
Drawing on their extensive experience of VAT, tax investigations and dealing with HMRC, Graham and Adamas explain what can trigger HMRC’s interest, what to expect during an enquiry, and the steps businesses can take to respond effectively and manage their risk.
They cover:
- What can trigger an HMRC enquiry – some of the common risk areas and circumstances that can put a business under the spotlight.
- What to expect from a VAT enquiry – from HMRC’s initial contact and information requests through to the possible outcomes.
- Getting your response right – why providing clear, accurate and sufficiently detailed information about your business and its activities is so important.
- Topical tax investigation issues – current areas of direct tax risk and HMRC scrutiny.
- When an enquiry escalates – how an initial VAT or tax enquiry can develop into a wider investigation.
- The potential implications – including additional tax, interest, penalties and the wider impact on the business.
- Managing HMRC enquiries effectively – practical considerations for businesses before and during an enquiry.
