Are you protected against the cost of an HMRC enquiry?

With the 31st of January self-assessment deadline now behind us, tax matters may still be at the forefront of many people’s minds. However, what is often overlooked is the potential disruption and financial impact of an HMRC enquiry or investigation, whether as an individual or a business.

Even with the best intentions and careful record-keeping, there is always a risk that HMRC could launch an enquiry.

We are therefore concerned that some clients may not currently have cover through our Tax Enquiry Fee Protection service. 

If you haven’t yet subscribed or renewed, please be aware that without this cover, any professional fees incurred in dealing with an HMRC enquiry would not be included in our standard service fees.

For further information please speak to your usual Streets contact, email feeprotection@streets.uk or click here.
