Tax Enquiry Advice Partnership |
Small Accountants Disclosure - SAD by name if that is what they choose. We can expect to see HMRC being more active in dealing with enquiries into small accountants- not your size or human attributes - but your practice. Unfortunately when you are a professional and you are advising others in relation to tax HMRC will look at shortcomings in your own work as being more serious than other taxpayers. You therefore need to manage your disclosure carefully otherwise you could end up with a disproportionate disturbance to your business with HMRC accountants reviewing your client's working paper files. If you have been advising clients to hold offshore bank accounts with a view to concealing tax evaded gains then you could be next on the list. After all when the chips are down you can expect your ex-clients to point the finger in somebody's direction. No smoke without fire they say and enough fingers pointing in one direction can lead to dawn raids (OK 7:30 or later usually nowadays with human rights concerns) which can potentially take away your livelihood. Any doubts get a second opinion from Bill before the HMRC accountancy unit calls to make an appointment or more unexpectedly joins in a meeting with between your client, yourself and a local office Inspector. Bill has experience in dealing with such cases and reports so please feel free to call him on 07751720507 for a short chat on the possible dangers and how he can help. Otherwise send him a message giving an outline of your potential problem as an introduction to a chat on matters. |

I knew there were problems and particularly as a professional man I was terrified. Having floundered around for a week or two looking at the different websites, that offered expertise for those in my predicament, I took the plunge and phoned Bill. His number was top of the list I had made and I'm glad it was. After an initial discussion on the phone, Bill agreed to meet me. He was totally non-judgemental, he made the ground rules clear - absolute honesty with him or he would walk away - and it was clear that he had an encyclopaedic knowledge of tax and of how the HMRC system worked. It seems to me the Revenue recognise his qualities and all the patient, laborious work he did on my rather messy affairs paid off with acceptance of his workings and a penalty that was very much at the bottom end of expectations. If you are looking for a highly effective tax professional, whom you can confidently work with towards an optimal solution look no further than Bill Stevenson.” … Dr LC. |
