Tax Investigation Services
A&M supports your organisation against procedural enquiries and investigations
A&M’s Tax Investigations solution supports clients in the event of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) investigations. HMRC can levy severe sanctions against companies, such as asset freezes, and is empowered to initiate litigation.
When companies are notified of a HMRC enquiry or investigation, they need an experienced partner to design an appropriate response strategy and deliver outcomes that work for all parties. Queries from HMRC may highlight business risks that need to be followed up. A&M’s experts are well equipped to support teams in scoping and conducting internal investigations.
