When HMRC launches a compliance check into your company, you need experienced guidance on your side.

Partner with tax professionals who understand what’s at stake.
Understanding Company Compliance Checks
An HMRC Compliance Check is an official investigation into a taxpayer’s financial records, tax filings, and practices. HMRC may launch a compliance check if they suspect inaccuracies or simply as part of their routine audit process. Regardless of the reason, being the subject of a compliance check can be time-consuming, stressful, and potentially costly if not handled correctly.
That’s where we come in. At My Tax Consultants, we offer strategic guidance and practical support to navigate HMRC compliance checks efficiently and professionally.
Types of HMRC Compliance Checks
While HMRC uses the term “compliance check” broadly for all investigations, the focus varies based on the business structure:
- For Limited Companies
Compliance checks focus on corporation tax returns, company accounts, director loans, shareholder distributions, PAYE, VAT, and compliance with both tax regulations and Companies Act requirements. These checks examine the corporate entity’s tax affairs along with issues specific to company structures. - For Sole Traders, Partnerships, and Self-Employed Individuals
Compliance checks examine personal tax returns, business income, expenses, VAT (if registered), and business records. The focus is on ensuring income tax, National Insurance contributions, and other relevant taxes are correctly declared and paid.

Common Triggers for a Company Compliance Check
A company compliance check can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
- Inconsistencies or errors in your tax returns
- Unusual financial patterns or discrepancies
- Claims for significant VAT refunds
- Reports from third parties or whistleblowers
- Random selection as part of HMRC’s routine compliance programme
- Offshore transactions or cross-border financial activities
Being prepared is key. Even if your business operations are above board, poor documentation or delayed responses can complicate matters.
