DRG tax investigation protection service

Whilst HMRC tax investigations might currently be less frequent due to the coronavirus pandemic, in recent years we have seen an increase in the number of enquiries, both into individual tax returns and company returns. 

A tax investigation can range from a phone call to a full blown investigation where they will go through the full books and records. It can be disruptive, time-consuming and expensive.
