You're not the first person to open this letter today
Most people who contact us feel exactly the same way you do right now. The letter is deliberately scary. That doesn’t mean everything is lost.
We’ve dealt with hundreds of these cases. The majority end civilly, with manageable penalties and no criminal prosecution.
How it works
Step 1
Free initial telephone call (15–20 minutes)
We call you as soon as possible – usually within the hour.
You tell us what the letter says. We explain in plain English what it actually means, how serious the situation really is, and your realistic next moves.
Step 2
Same-day introduction to a top specialist
If you want to move forward, we personally introduce you (three-way email, same day) to one of the UK’s leading tax investigation specialists who is perfect for your exact situation.
You deal direct with them. We stay copied on emails for moral support – at no extra cost.
Step 3
You’re no longer on your own
From this point the specialist takes over. Most cases end civilly with manageable outcomes. You finally get to sleep again. That’s it.
No big fees up front. No complicated packages. Just immediate calm and a clear path forward.
The questions we get asked most
1. Can I appeal a tax assessment?
Yes. You have 30 days to appeal or request an HMRC internal review. If you still disagree, you can take the case to the independent Tax Tribunal.
2. Do I need a solicitor for a tax investigation?
For complex, deliberate, or COP9 cases, yes. Solicitors offer legal privilege and can represent you at the Tax Tribunal, which accountants cannot.
3. What is tax investigation help?
Specialist support from accountants or solicitors who deal with HMRC enquiries — helping reduce stress, manage documents, and minimise financial risk.
4. Need confidential help?
If you’ve received an HMRC letter or are worried about your tax affairs, contact us for a free, confidential, no-obligation discussion. Our team has helped hundreds of individuals and businesses achieve the best possible outcome.
