    Tax Disputes

    HMRC is striving harder than ever to increase the amount of money it brings in from compliance activity. It brought in a record £28.9 billion during the past financial year from challenging accounts, tax returns and business records.

    You might be chosen for an enquiry due to the nature of your business, where you live, the property you rent out or perhaps because HMRC has decided to target your particular profession. Or you might just be selected completely at random. Because of this, we are here to help attain tax dispute resolutions.

    HMRC has a computer called Connect which stores all the information the taxman collects on businesses and people. Specialist analytical experts then trawl through all the data to identify potential risks.

    More than 22 billion lines of data are already held by HMRC and that figure is likely to increase rapidly now that tax authorities around the world are starting to share information under the Common Reporting Standard.

    If you find yourself in HMRC’s crosshairs, help is at hand: Harwood Hutton’s tax team can advise on HMRC enquiries, tax disclosures and tax disputes with the aim of finding cost-effective solutions and providing clients with peace of mind.

      • I always get quick, clear and definitive responses from the Harwood Hutton tax team – commercial answers to commercial issues.

        Robin Berry – Morgan Management

      • Right from the outset Harwood Hutton gave us direction and great advice – and that advice has evolved over the years as we’ve grown. We’re both medium-sized companies providing a bespoke service – one furniture, one accountancy – and the relationship works.

        Andy McCarron, McCarron and Co

      • I’m deeply impressed with Harwood Hutton’s extensive knowledge of tax arrangements for residential and commercial property landlords.

        Qadeer Ahmed, MD, ABA Finance

      • They really took their time to understand what was important to us and our business and the expertise we required. Whoever we speak to at HH, we get the same fantastic response and technical input. It’s a real partnership.

        Edward Finch, group MD, MRIB insurance brokers

      • I have worked with the directors at Harwood Hutton on a number of mutual client matters over many years. The reassurance of their clear, commercial and focussed advice is one of the main reasons I regard this as one of my most valuable professional relationships.

        Frank Wessely, Partner, Quantuma LLP

      • Harwood Hutton never seem to rest on their laurels. They are always seeking out new avenues and ways to improve their offering. A very forward-thinking company with staff who are always well briefed and who approach each task with drive.

        Karl Austen, MD, Surefoot Communications

      • We have engaged Harwood Hutton in several areas of structuring, including VAT issues, decoupling an SPV from a group structure and HMRC clearance for a transaction. The team have exceeded all expectations by being proactive, measured and very thorough.

        Adam Fawsitt, Director, FHT Limited

      • We moved to Harwood Hutton as they delivered a succinct and professional proposal. If anything, we have been more impressed post-move. They are a fantastic company to work with. They do truly differentiate. They have the skills and capabilities of a mega firm but with a personal service.
