HMRC Tax Penalties
Review the penalty, the facts behind it and the basis on which HMRC calculated it.
HMRC penalties can arise for a range of reasons and the amount can depend on the circumstances surrounding the underlying tax issue.
TaxResolve reviews both the underlying tax position and the penalty itself.
Where there are grounds to challenge a penalty, we can help prepare the appropriate representations or appeal.
What we consider
- The facts
- The available evidence
- The relevant behaviour
- The disclosure history
- Circumstances relevant to HMRC's decision
- The underlying tax position
