HMRC enquiry
Should your company be notified of an enquiry, we recommend taking expert advice.
It is surprisingly common for an employer to make an unintentional mistake.
In recent years, the media attention surrounding NMW has spotlighted the legislation, the difficulties employers face and HMRC’s strict application of the complex rules. This has seen many companies, including well-known household brands, being publicly named and shamed for inadvertently falling foul of the rules and being hit with hefty penalties up to 200% of any underpayment found by HMRC.
We understand that dealing with HMRC can feel overwhelming and stressful. Many employers come to us wanting to know how best to deal with HMRC and get an enquiry on track without it causing significant disruption to their business, depleting important resources and adding an extra burden to the management team.
We will support and guide you through the whole process.
Prepare
We help employers prepare for HMRC's approach and discuss strategy at various stages. We aim to ensure the correct determinations are made at each step, manage any risks, and reduce the overall burden of an enquiry.
Reduce pressure
The pressure from an HMRC enquiry and the demand on an employer's resources can be costly for any business. Our role will simplify the process and make it easier and less stressful for business owners and their management teams.
Protect
Working with employers and HMRC in this way can help bring matters to a swifter conclusion and seek to minimise any potential financial damage and protect the employer's all-important brand and commercial reputation.
