Facing an enquiry from HMRC or the NCA can be a stressful and intimidating experience for any business or individual. At Countwise Chartered Accountants, we are your dedicated defence, providing expert representation to handle all types of tax investigations. Our exceptional track record and specialised team ensure your case is in the most capable hands.
HMRC's scrutiny is increasing, with businesses being selected for enquiry either randomly or as part of targeted campaigns. When you receive a letter from HMRC, it's crucial to have experienced professionals on your side. Our team has over 20 years of experience in successfully dealing with a wide range of enquiries, from routine compliance checks to serious civil and criminal cases.
We are frequently engaged by other accounting firms that lack the expertise to handle complex investigations. If you feel your current accountant is not equipped to contest HMRC on your behalf, we offer a free initial assessment to discuss how we can help.
To give our clients peace of mind and the full force of our defence, we offer an optional fee protection insurance which covers professional costs up to £75,000 in the event of an enquiry.
