During the lifetime of an individual tax payer, partnership or other business, it is quite likely that there will be some form of enquiry made by either the Inland Revenue or Customs and Excise. Enquiries or investigations of this type are very often selected on a random basis.

HMRC have powers to investigate income tax and corporation tax payers at random, and the number of these investigations is expected to increase dramatically over future years.

If you are a self-assessment tax payer, an employer filing P11D forms on employee benefits, or VAT returns, or if you are responsible for employees' PAYE, then you could be subject to a random investigation. Even if the Revenue finds nothing as a result of the investigation, you will still have unexpected professional fees to pay as a result.

We strongly recommend that clients consider subscribing to the cover we offer. We will be pleased to send full details and a quote to you.

The simple answer to this question is YES.
