The purpose of this session is to educate on the main types of interaction professional advisers might expect from HMRC and to share best practice on how to represent a taxpayer in those scenarios.

 

In this session Sarah Scala covers the following topics:

 

  • When might an adviser need to interact with HMRC and what form will that communication likely take
  • Setting yourself up for success by having the right conversations with the taxpayer and all of the necessary information available to you. If information is missing, what are your options?
  • Meeting HMRC: when might this occur, should your client attend, how to best prepare to ensure a successful outcome.
  • Ten suggested ways to speed up a HMRC enquiry towards resolution.
  • What to do when HMRC are not adhering to their own processes and guidance and how to handle such a situation without jeopardising the desired outcome for the client.
