HMRC Tax Disputes & Appeals
When you disagree with HMRC, establish the facts and challenge the position properly.
Not every HMRC conclusion is correct.
Disputes can arise over facts, calculations, tax treatment, assessments, penalties or HMRC's interpretation of transactions.
TaxResolve reviews the underlying position and helps clients present a properly evidenced challenge.
Tax disputes can involve
- Tax assessments
- Compliance-check conclusions
- Penalties

- PAYE and CIS
- Business expenses
- Employment status
- Property transactions
- Historic liabilities
- Technical interpretation
Routes to resolution
Depending on the case, options can include further representations to HMRC, statutory review, Alternative Dispute Resolution or formal appeal.
Where tribunal litigation or specialist legal representation is required, we can work alongside appropriate legal advisers.
