Client story from real practice
A client came to us after years of unresolved tax issues. It turned out that Self Assessment tax returns had not been submitted for 6 years.
The case was complicated:
old documents had to be collected;
income had to be reconstructed;
payments had to be checked and matched;
information had to be requested from HMRC;
CIS records had to be reviewed;
discrepancies had to be corrected;
taxes had to be recalculated for several years.
The process took several months due to the amount of historical information involved and ongoing communication with HMRC.
After a full review and correction of the tax returns, the client was able to claim back more than £7,000 in overpaid tax 💷
Many people believe that if tax returns haven’t been submitted for years, the situation can no longer be fixed.
In reality, in many cases it can still be resolved properly with the right approach and professional support.
If you:
have outstanding Self Assessments;
worked under CIS;
are unsure about your HMRC situation;
or have received letters regarding penalties or tax debts,
it is always worth having your case reviewed professionally 📩
👉 People often think they owe HMRC, only to find out that HMRC actually owe them.
