Tax Fee Protection Service: Invites, Renewals & Changes

As I am sure we are all aware, HMRC are able to open investigations into the accuracy of tax returns, VAT returns, payroll, etc. via targeted, or random tax enquiries. With an ever increasing budget deficit we fully expect HMRC to raise more enquiries in the coming years to increase tax revenues.

How Can Our Tax Fee Protection Service Help?

You will want to be in a position to ensure that investigations are dealt with fully without the worry over the cost of dealing with this. HMRC may believe there is an error and it will be important to explore this, as HMRC are not always correct.

The costs of dealing with a tax investigation are not included in our normal fees and the costs involved can be substantial.

In response to this we offer our clients a Tax Fee Protection Service. 1 April 2025 is the annual renewal date for this cover, and for this year only will run for 14 months to 31 May 2026. Please note that cover can be taken out at any time, but will not commence until the premium is paid.

Our renewal letters, and invitations, are currently being sent out. Please note that from 2025 cover is being provided by Vantage and so the letters will look different to usual and Vantage are also collecting the premiums so there will be different ways to pay.

As well as the investigation service, clients who take the cover benefit from a free legal helpline. There are terms and conditions and the link below provides further information on these. We recommend all our clients consider joining this service, so keep an eye out for our letters. For further information please click here.
