Our approach
- We establish the facts from your records before we answer anything.
- Correspondence with HMRC is handled by us, on the record and on time.
- You always know the likely range of outcomes before deciding.
Common questions
- HMRC has written to me. Should I reply straight away?
- Check the deadline first, then gather the underlying records. Ask for an extension in writing if you need more time; take advice before volunteering information beyond what was asked.
- Do you work with my accountant?
- Yes. We regularly work alongside accountants, and legal privilege can protect advice that would otherwise be disclosable.
