OBJECTIVES

To enable participants to deal more effectively with HMRC.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Any tax professionals or accountants who have dealings with HMRC.

TOPICS

 HMRC is increasing investigations that it opens. It is also using its new powers and its information gathering capacity to target those investigations more effectively. It has also upped the penalties that it is looking to charge. This course looks at how to engage with HMRC and includes the following topics:

• How HMRC chooses taxpayers to investigate
• Differentiating formal and informal investigations
• Time limits and Discovery Assessments – how long can HMRC go back?
• Dealing with the initial enquiry
• How to expedite the investigation process
• Taxpayers rights and tactics
• Settling the investigation
• Mitigating penalties

The course will also cover agents’ responsibilities in dealing with HMRC outside the investigatory framework. This is an area of increasing interest to both HMRC but also the bodies which regulate accountants and tax professionals.

VENUE

This course will be available live online. You will be emailed the link to join two days before the course date.
