It has been disclosed that HM Revenue and Customs disputes throughout 2015 and 2016 have ended with nearly half of all cases being resolved against the tax man.

Research by the Telegraph into officially released figures as part of HMRC’s annual report have indicated that for many, the taxman is not the ultimate authority any longer. Therefore, in matters of knowing what exactly is right, the services of a good accountant in North Wales or beyond can be absolutely paramount in order to make sure that no errors happen with your accounts.

When a dispute happens, a taxpayer has the choice of asking HMRC to review the case, or the option of appealing to a tax tribunal which will ensure that the account will be looked at by an independent third party. Getting to this stage can be somewhat precarious, and the services of an accountant, as a professional, will help you claim what’s yours with HMRC.

Good accountants in the North Wales region and across the UK offer a Tax Investigations Service, in order to see you through the harrowing experience of tax enquiries, make sure that you’re represented well, and most importantly, allow you as a small business owner to take on the Inland Revenue on an equal footing without pouring away your time and efforts doing so. It can be difficult, particularly as a small business owner, to keep a focus on your business and keep the money coming in, but also get what you’re owed.

You don’t have to worry about being left out of pocket through doing what’s right, either. Most accountants in North Wales and beyond offer tax investigation services which ensure that their professional fees will be paid by HMRC in damages, and not by you – which means that you won’t be left in the unenviable position of being in the right, but having to pay away the money you do recover from the taxman.
