HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) conducts checks:to make sure a tax return or claim is correct,in randomly selected cases to discourage tax evasion and make sure the tax system is operating fairly,to make sure that deductions, statutory payments, tax credits and employee expenses and benefits are made and reported correctly
Enquiry process:If HMRC intends to start a compliance check, it will give you written notice. HMRC may ask you to provide information by a certain date, usually within 30 days. Further information, or meetings, may be requested.
The compliance check may be about specific areas of your individual tax return, your business' tax return, an examination of your entire tax affairs, or your employers' or contractors' records. You may ask for written records of any meetings with HMRC. You can ask why a compliance check enquiry is continuing and may be able to appeal for it to be closed.
You can appoint a professional adviser to represent you but you remain responsible for your individual and your business' tax affairs.If the compliance check shows that nothing is wrong, a closure notice or letter will be sent to you at the end of the check. Any tax overpaid will be repaid plus interest.
