Professional fee insurance

Professional fee insurance covers the cost of our services in the event that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) raise an enquiry into your tax affairs.

If you are chosen for an investigation, we will do our utmost to ensure that the outcome is as favourable for you as it can be. In most cases, we will be able to reach a settlement with HMRC that is considerably lower than their original demand; in some cases we can convince them to withdraw their claim altogether. However, this can take a considerable amount of time. Even if no additional tax or penalty payment is due, we will still have to charge you for the professional fees incurred in dealing with HMRC on your behalf; such fees frequently amount to thousands of pounds.

For a small annual subscription, the scheme will provide you with the equivalent of up to £100,000 worth of our time in the event of a written intervention by the tax authorities. It is available to companies, partnerships and trusts as well as individuals. This insurance covers not only enquiries into self assessment Tax Returns but also PAYE and VAT compliance visits and other HMRC interventions.

With this insurance we can dedicate as much time as necessary to get you the best result, whilst you can rest assured that the cost is already covered.
