Enquiry and Dispute Fee Protection Service
Why you need Premier Protection
HM Revenue & Customs gained new powers of investigation on 1st April 2009.
HMRC now operate an information led approach to targeting non-compliant tax returns. They are now able to:
- Make inspections unannounced *
- Check your records before a tax return is filed
- Demand records without issuing a formal notice
- Ask third parties to check the accuracy of information
- Investigate direct taxes, VAT and employer compliance, since inspectors are now cross trained
Their aim is no longer to open as many full enquiries, but to target taxpayers and convince them to comply with HMRC underpayment estimates as quickly as possible. The most efficient way for them to do this is to demand early stage pre-return meetings.
Ad Valorem therefore decided to re-visit the market and seek a higher level of protection against these new powers.
