M+A Partners HomeServicesFee Protection

Fee Protection

The government has provided additional funding to HMRC so they can focus their resources on enquiry related activity, and the likelihood that you or your business will be investigated is greater today than ever before.

In addition to their usual approach to selecting taxpayers returns for enquiry using risk-based methods as well as random selections, HMRC have turned their attention towards the users of the government’s coronavirus support schemes, such as the furlough scheme (CJRS) and the self-employed income support scheme.

HMRC has the power to visit business premises to inspect records for all taxes including Corporate, Income, PAYE and NIC, CJRS, SEISS, Capital Gains Tax and VAT.

M+A Partners offers a tax enquiry service to its clients. The service covers, subject to terms and conditions, unforeseen professional costs arising from any correspondence or visit relating to an enquiry from HMRC.

Tax Enquiry Service
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

It really helps to know that us entrepreneurs can get on with our business knowing that there are first-class professionals at close hand to fully support our endeavours.

Our tax affairs, both business and private, have been well managed by M+A Partners for more than ten years and we very much appreciate the help and excellent advice available. Queries are quickly answered by e-mail or telephone by any of the team dealing with taxation matters whom we find efficient, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We also think that M+A offer a good reliable value for money service.

Our company is situated in the health sector which can be very difficult to understand but you and your team at M+A have always shown great insight in this area. I am really delighted to have moved to M+A as our accountants and having you as our dedicated partner has made it as smooth as possible a transition. I look forward to many more years working with M+A.

Having worked with Martyn Page and his tax team at M+A Partners, I remain consistently impressed with their ability to give clear, pragmatic and understandable advice in what is a very complex area. I have recommended the tax team at M+A Partners to clients for both personal and business matters and the feedback I have received has always been extremely positive.

Our taxation affairs are reasonably complex involving family trusts, tax planning and our annual tax returns. We enjoy a close and productive relationship with M+A and we particularly value the pro active nature of this relationship where potential issues are highlighted early so that appropriate planning can be made in good time.
