HMRC Civil Tax Investigations

HMRC Tax Investigations & Disclosures

Confidential. Strategic. On Your Side.

When HMRC contacts you regarding an enquiry, investigation, or disclosure, the stakes are high — financially, legally, and reputationally. These situations demand more than accounting — they require calm strategy, expert negotiation, and flawless communication.

At Hyde Accountancy, we represent clients with confidence and care throughout HMRC tax disputes, voluntary disclosures, and appeals. Whether it’s a one-off compliance issue or an in-depth civil investigation, we ensure your position is clearly articulated, fairly represented, and professionally resolved.

Our Specialist Tax Representation Services

Voluntary Disclosure Reports
If you’ve identified errors or omissions in previous tax filings, we prepare a full disclosure report to HMRC. This includes:

  • Accurate calculation of underpaid taxes

  • Explanation of circumstances

  • Recommendations for penalty mitigation

All disclosures follow HMRC-approved protocols under Let Property Campaign, Digital Disclosure Service, or other routes.

HMRC Negotiation & Settlement
We act as your direct liaison with HMRC:

  • Negotiating on tax, interest, and penalties

  • Seeking reduced charges based on cooperation and intent

  • Ensuring timely closure with minimal stress

Appeals & Legal Representation

  • Preparation and submission of formal appeals against assessments, penalties, or determinations

  • Applications for postponement of tax collection while disputes are ongoing

  • Requests for independent internal reviews where appropriate

Reputation Management

  • Strategic responses when HMRC threatens to list clients in public defaulter schemes

  • Appeals against deliberate default classifications

  • Minimisation of reputational damage

Client Feedback

“We were completely overwhelmed when HMRC sent a letter about undeclared income. Hyde not only calmed us down — they resolved it quickly with minimal penalties. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

FAQ

Q: Should I wait until HMRC contacts me before disclosing unpaid taxes?
A: No. Voluntary disclosures typically result in lower penalties and more favourable treatment. Contacting us early puts you in a stronger position.

Q: Will I go to court for tax mistakes?
A: Civil investigations are not criminal proceedings. With full cooperation and proper representation, most cases are resolved without legal escalation.

Q: Can Hyde help if I’ve already spoken to HMRC?
A: Yes. We can still intervene, take over communication, and manage the next steps to protect your interests.

Q: Is my case confidential?
A: Absolutely. Your information stays strictly between you and our authorised team.
