HMRC Compliance Checks

Need help responding to an HMRC compliance check? Our experts guide you through tax reviews, ensuring accuracy and avoiding penalties.

Support with HMRC Compliance Reviews and Tax Assurance Checks

HMRC regularly conducts compliance checks to ensure that individuals and businesses are correctly reporting and paying tax. These checks can range from routine enquiries to more detailed investigations into specific transactions or tax returns.

Our experienced tax team supports clients through every stage of the compliance check process – minimising disruption, ensuring accurate and timely responses, and helping you avoid unnecessary penalties. We liaise directly with HMRC on your behalf, providing clear guidance, thorough documentation, and strategic advice to bring matters to a swift and fair resolution.

Whether you’ve received a formal compliance check notice or a more informal request for information, we’ll help you navigate the process with confidence.

Our HMRC Compliance Checks Support Includes:

  • Reviewing and responding to HMRC letters or notices
  • Preparing supporting evidence and documentation
  • Managing communication with HMRC
  • Advising on technical issues raised during the check
  • Negotiating outcomes and minimising liabilities
  • Ensuring accurate completion of tax returns moving forward

With our support, you stay in control of the process while we ensure that your tax affairs stand up to HMRC scrutiny.

HMRC Compliance FAQs

How long does an HMRC compliance check take?

The length of a compliance check depends on its scope. Some are resolved in a matter of weeks; others, especially more detailed reviews, can take several months. Streets help keep the process efficient, ensures timely responses, and works to bring matters to a close as swiftly as possible.
HMRC may initiate a compliance check if something in your tax return looks unusual, inconsistent, or doesn’t match data they hold from third parties. It can also be triggered randomly, or as part of a sector-wide review. At Streets, we help clients prepare for these checks in advance – and step in quickly if you’re contacted.
HMRC takes a risk-based approach, using data analytics and behavioural insights to identify businesses they believe may be non-compliant. Their aim is to ensure everyone pays the right amount of tax – and they expect full cooperation. Streets works to keep your affairs in order and represent you professionally if a review occurs.
The best response is calm, accurate, and fully documented. Don’t ignore the request – contact us straight away. At Streets, we’ll liaise directly with HMRC on your behalf, gather the required information, and guide you through the process to minimise risk and disruption.
