Your Shield in Compliance Checks
Facing a business compliance check from HMRC can feel overwhelming, but with the right team by your side, it doesn’t have to be. At My Tax Consultants, we provide expert support for businesses and individuals undergoing an HMRC compliance check, tax enquiry, or investigation. Our goal is to ease your burden, protect your interests, and achieve a swift, positive resolution wherever possible.
What Is a Business Compliance Check?
A business compliance check is HMRC’s way of reviewing whether a business is meeting its tax obligations correctly. It could involve a review of your records, processes, tax filings, and financial transactions. These checks are often detailed and time-consuming, and without proper guidance, minor misunderstandings can escalate into major disputes.
Whether you’re facing a straightforward query or a complex, multi-faceted HMRC investigation, having professional representation can make all the difference.
Common Triggers for Compliance Checks
Understanding what might prompt a business compliance check can help you take proactive steps to protect your business. While HMRC may select businesses at random, there are several common factors that often trigger a closer review:
- Inconsistent Tax Returns
Significant fluctuations in income, expenses, or profit margins from year to year can raise red flags. If your filings seem inconsistent with industry norms, HMRC may initiate a compliance check to investigate further. - Late or Incorrect Filing
Consistent delays in submitting tax returns, VAT returns, or PAYE submissions, or errors in your documentation, may increase the likelihood of an HMRC investigation. - Unusual Business Activities
Substantial one-off transactions, large claims for tax reliefs, or significant changes in trading activity can prompt additional scrutiny from HMRC. - Discrepancies in Reported Income
If the income reported on your tax returns does not align with information from other sources — such as banks, clients, or suppliers — HMRC may see grounds for a business compliance check. - High-Risk Industries
Certain sectors, such as construction, hospitality, and cash-heavy businesses, are more frequently subject to compliance checks due to higher perceived risks of under-reporting. - Anonymous Tips or Disclosures
HMRC occasionally acts on information received from whistleblowers, former employees, or other third parties who raise concerns about a business’s tax affairs. - Offshore Interests
Ownership of offshore assets, foreign income, or involvement in cross-border transactions can increase the complexity of your tax affairs — and the chance of HMRC interest.
