Tax Investigation

Facing an HMRC Tax Investigation? Get Expert Support Today!

An HMRC tax investigation can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to handle it alone. Whether you’re an individual or a business owner, an unexpected tax enquiry can cause serious financial and emotional stress. At Odiri Tax Consultants & Accountants, we specialise in helping clients navigate HMRC investigations with expert advice, strategic solutions, and a commitment to securing the best possible outcome for you.

Why Am I Being Investigated by HMRC?

HMRC may launch a tax investigation for various reasons, including:

• Inconsistencies in tax returns – If HMRC spots discrepancies in your reported income, deductions, or expenses, they may open an enquiry.
• Undeclared income – If you’ve failed to report earnings from self-employment, property rental, or other sources, HMRC may investigate.
• Random compliance checks – Some tax audits happen at random, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
• Reports or third-party information – If HMRC receives a tip-off or gathers data suggesting potential tax evasion, they may scrutinise your tax affairs.
• VAT, PAYE, or Corporation Tax issues – Businesses are often investigated for errors in payroll, VAT returns, or corporate tax reporting.

Ignoring an HMRC investigation or failing to respond correctly can lead to heavy penalties, interest charges, and even legal action. That’s why seeking expert tax advice immediately is crucial.
