Our Services
Working towards the best conclusion. No surprises.
We will assess your case as quickly as possible and get to the reason why there is an investigation, what information we need to find and what the next steps will be. Our overriding objective is to ensure there are no surprises, and to keep you informed of everything - from probable timescales to costs - at all times.

Evidence Evidence Evidence
The need for reasonable evidence is paramount.
In the case of Kinsey v R & Commrs HMRC successfully argued that claims for expenditure by the tax payer should not be allowed. HMRC had disallowed part of the expenditure claimed by the taxpayer, because no reasonable evidence had been supplied to support the claim. With no other evidence, the tribunal was satisfied that the HMRC officers’ proposal for settlement was based on her best judgement and was fair and reasonable. In order words HMRC’s guess was better than the tax payers.
In order for your expenses to be allowed it is vital that you have reasonable evidence. Call us to find out if you have enough.
Pre Inspection Visit
Have you got a VAT or PAYE visit in the next few days?
Tax Champion will come to your premises and conduct an inspection visit so that you know what your commercial risks are. We will identify any problem areas in your records. This will enable you to get any additional evidence that you need so that you are properly prepared for your HMRC visit. You will have a written report so that you can make the changes necessary to make your visit as painless as possible.
As a practicing firm of Chartered Accountants you will be pleasantly surprised what else comes from our visit as we discuss your business and what you are trying to achieve over a coffee.
IR 35 Worries?
Whether you are a contractor or someone using contractors, IR35 has the capacity to destroy your business. As a Professional Contractors Group accredited advisor we can guarantee to defend the advice we give.
Many people are caught by IR35, not realising the consequences.
The danger signals are;
- That you always work at the same place for the same company
- That they pay you on a regular basis
- You bring little to the arrangement except your skill or knowledge...
So if you engage contractors in this way or you are engaged in this way, please ensure that your contract is reviewed. We will review the contract for a fixed fee and for an additional fee guarantee to defend the advice.
