Tax investigation support to other firms of Accountants

We understand that smaller accountancy practices often do not have the time or resources to deal with H M Revenue & Customs’ enquiries into clients’ affairs.  Given that H M Revenue & Customs now have new powers of investigation, enquiries are likely to become more intrusive and time consuming.

LEES assist smaller practitioners with H M Revenue & Customs’ enquiries into clients’ affairs, giving them the support they need and enabling them to focus on their normal everyday workload.

We have expertise in the following areas:

• Major enquiries into large companies with turnovers in excess of £100m
• Small and medium sized limited company investigations
• Enquiries into sole trades and partnerships
• Capital gains tax and property valuations
• Employer compliance reviews including CIS
• IR35 and employment status cases
• Property income enquiries

and can help you by:

• Providing initial advice regarding the enquiry
• Assisting in the collation of material required
• Corresponding and negotiating with H M Revenue & Customs directly
• Presenting cases to Tribunals and Commissioners
• Appointing third parties such as barristers and tax counsel as required
• Agreeing a final settlement and closing the enquiry
