Nobody likes to think about an HMRC tax investigation but the reality is that they can happen to any business or individual, regardless of how careful you are with your records. Even if you’ve done everything right, an investigation can still be stressful, time-consuming, and expensive. That’s why at Modus Accountants, we offer our clients access to a Tax Investigation Service that provides expert support and protection when you need it most.

What Is a Tax Investigation Service?

Our Tax Investigation Service, provided in partnership with Croner-i Taxwise-protect, ensures you’re fully protected should HMRC decide to review your tax affairs. It covers the cost of professional fees incurred in dealing with HMRC enquiries, giving you peace of mind and allowing us to defend you without additional financial burden.

The Benefits of Tax Investigation Protection

By joining our service, you’ll benefit from:

• Full professional representation — we’ll deal directly with HMRC on your behalf.
• Cost protection — professional fees can easily run into thousands during an investigation; our service ensures you’re covered.
• Peace of mind — knowing you’re protected means less stress and distraction from running your business.
• Specialist advice — access to experts who understand HMRC’s processes and can handle complex queries.
• Coverage for all types of enquiries — including corporation tax, income tax, VAT, PAYE, IR35 and CIS.

Why Investigations Happen

Tax investigations are often triggered at random, but HMRC also looks for “risk factors” such as:

• Frequent errors or late submissions.
• Large fluctuations in turnover or expenses.
• Discrepancies between VAT returns and accounts.
• Operating in industries with higher levels of cash transactions.

Even if your accounts are accurate, HMRC can open an enquiry, which is why having protection in place makes good business sense.
