Introduction

HMRC is ramping up its enforcement activity, with an increasing emphasis on targeted enquiries, historic tax disclosures, and individual accountability. For professionals advising on compliance, being unprepared can result in costly missteps and reputational risk—for both clients and advisers. Now, more than ever, it is essential that tax professionals are well-equipped to manage HMRC enquiries and help clients regularise historic tax issues effectively.

This highly interactive seminar, led by Grant Thornton Directors Louisa Beciri and David Francis, is designed around two practical case studies. These real-world scenarios will give you hands-on experience in dealing with HMRC and navigating complex enquiries.

This course is ideal for tax professionals, accountants, and legal advisers involved in HMRC compliance, disclosures, or investigations.

What You Will Learn

This course will cover the following:

  • Understand HMRC enquiry powers including key trends and enforcement priorities
  • Explain discovery powers and assessing time limits
  • Navigate the provision of information during an enquiry
  • When and how to challenge HMRC
  • Navigate HMRC information requests and taxpayer safeguards
  • Analyse how taxpayer behaviour influences penalty outcomes
  • Strategies for resolving an enquiry more efficiently
