Protect Yourself from Costly HMRC Investigations with Tax Fee Protection Insurance
At Merranti Accounting, we know that HMRC investigations can happen to anyone—even if your accounts are fully accurate. These investigations are not just stressful but can also result in significant professional fees to ensure a proper response. That’s why we offer Tax Fee Protection Insurance, starting from just £8 per month, to safeguard you against unexpected costs.
Why HMRC Investigations Happen
HMRC is focused on closing the UK’s £35.5 billion tax gap, and small businesses and individuals account for over half of this amount. This means investigations are becoming more frequent, and anyone—businesses, landlords, self-employed individuals, and even those on PAYE—can be selected for review.
Investigations can be triggered by:
✔ Operating in a targeted industry
✔ Inconsistencies in tax returns
✔ Late submissions
✔ Tip-offs from third parties
✔ Random selection
Regardless of the reason, once you’re under investigation, you’ll need expert professional representation to ensure everything is handled correctly.
The Hidden Cost of a Tax Investigation
One of the biggest misconceptions is that a tax investigation only costs money if you owe additional tax. In reality, even if you’ve done everything correctly, you are still responsible for covering the professional fees required to handle the investigation. These costs can run into the thousands and can last for months.
Without protection, you could end up paying for:
💷 Accountant representation
💷 Specialist tax advice
💷 Additional document preparation
💷 Legal guidance
With Merranti’s Tax Fee Protection Insurance, these costs are covered so that you don’t pay out of pocket.
