Additional Tax Service Hub

Welcome to Your Tax Service Hub

Thank you for signing up for our service, designed to protect you in the event of an HMRC investigation.

This service covers our professional fees if you are selected for an investigation, ensuring you don’t have to simply accept HMRC’s demands without a proper defence. While we can’t prevent you from being selected, we can ensure you’re fully supported and able to defend yourself thoroughly if it happens.

As your accountants, your protection and peace of mind are our priority.

What is our Additional Tax Service?

It is a service set up by us and is backed by an insurance policy we have taken out in our own name with Professional Fee Protection (PFP) and protects our clients who suffer a tax enquiry. For a small annual fee, you can join our service and obtain the benefits described on the service summary. When you subscribe to our service we are able to make a claim against our insurance policy held with PFP in respect of our fees incurred.

Who are Professional Fee Protection (PFP)?

PFP are specialist providers of tax enquiry insurance. They pioneered fee protection in the UK over 30 years ago. They have protected over 600,000 different businesses and individuals. They are committed to working in conjunction with us, thus ensuring your interests are fully protected.

My company hasn’t yet filed its first corporation tax return with HMRC

If the company has employees and/or is VAT registered, there are still advantages of joining the service before the first corporation tax return is filed, for example, in the event of a PAYE or VAT enquiry.

I have done nothing wrong, why should I be worried about a tax enquiry?

Most tax enquiries are generated by computer ‘risk profiling’ and many are selected completely at random. As a result, anyone can be picked for investigation, even if you have done nothing wrong.

If I have missed the filing deadline for my return, am I still covered?

Returns which have been submitted more than 90 days late will be excluded from the service.

What happens if we have a new director/partner join our business part way through the year?

Providing the business has subscribed, and we are engaged to prepare the personal tax return for the director/partner, they will automatically be included within the service at no extra cost.
