How to protect yourself from an aggressive taxman
Subscribe to our Tax Investigation Services to cover your professional fees in the event of a protracted HMRC inquiry.
Please reference the table below for the fees relating to the persons, or entities, that you require the cover for where turnover is less than £25m.
| Scale of charges | £ Per annum (Inclusive of VAT) |
| Personal tax or trusts | 168 |
| Sole traders | 408 |
| Partnerships | 534 |
| Limited companies (excluding R&D claims) | 606 |
| Separate R&D cover, for claims ≤ £50k | 948 |
| Separate R&D cover, for claims > £50k | 1,260 |
The service works whereby if you sign up for tax investigation cover after the 1 August 2025 renewal date, the full amount will be payable and you'll be covered only until the end date of 31 July 2026. Please therefore be sure to sign up, or renew, prior to the renewal date.
If you take up cover for a limited company/partnership, and we complete your tax returns, then the directors/partners will be covered automatically as part of the fee. This is so long as they don't have gross rental receipts in excess of £50,000 for the tax year. Where rental receipts exceed £50,000 then this will be quoted for as a separate entity, either as a sole trader, or as a partnership.
For businesses with turnover over £25m, separate rates will apply and our team will be in touch with you.
