HMRC & NCA Investigations FAQs

Common questions about our investigation support services

Contact us immediately upon receiving any correspondence from HMRC. Early professional advice is essential. Do not ignore the letter or attempt to respond without guidance. We will review the enquiry, explain what it means, advise on the best course of action and manage all communication with HMRC on your behalf to ensure the matter is handled correctly from the start.

Tax Investigation Cover is insurance that protects you from the professional fees associated with an HMRC enquiry. Even if you have done nothing wrong, defending your position during an investigation can be expensive. This cover ensures our fees are fully paid during an enquiry, providing immediate access to expert support without cost concerns. We recommend this for all clients who want complete peace of mind.

The duration varies depending on the type and complexity of the investigation. Simple compliance checks may be resolved within weeks, whilst full enquiries can take several months or longer. We work efficiently to provide HMRC with all necessary information promptly, aiming to bring the matter to a swift resolution whilst ensuring your interests are fully protected.

Yes. If you have discovered historical tax errors or omissions, we can guide you through HMRC disclosure facilities such as the Digital Disclosure Service (DDS), Let Property Campaign or voluntary disclosure routes. Making a proactive, accurate and complete disclosure demonstrates cooperation with HMRC and typically results in reduced penalties compared to HMRC discovering the issue independently.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) handles serious financial crime investigations including money laundering, proceeds of crime, Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) and fraud with potential criminal implications. These investigations are more serious than typical HMRC tax enquiries. We provide specialist support for NCA matters and work with legal partners where necessary to ensure coordinated, robust representation throughout the process.

Costs depend on the complexity and duration of the investigation. For clients with Tax Investigation Cover, our professional fees during an HMRC enquiry are fully covered by the insurance. For those without cover, we provide transparent fee estimates at the outset. Contact us for a quote tailored to your specific circumstances and investigation type.
