Anyone who has been the subject of an 'in-depth' tax investigation by HM Revenue & Customs knows just how stressful and worrying it can be. The emphasis of these investigations used to be mainly on cash businesses such as retailers, publicans and market traders, but has recently widened to encompass all tax payers.
This change of strategy on the Revenue's part is due to the onset of personal and corporate self-assessment, which enables Revenue staff to concentrate on reviewing cases on a 'sample basis'. Tax investigations have become more frequent and require specialist techniques for prevention as well as cure!
