Answer with the buttons, there is no email to give.
Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day when HMRC writes?
Do you know your fee will not change this year?
If HMRC opened a check tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
That is a real gap, and HMRC letters come with dates on them. Start the check and Mudassir reads your answers and replies the same working day.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position on some of it. The part you answered no to is worth one conversation before HMRC sets the timetable.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is nothing here you need from us today. The guides are there if you want to read how an enquiry runs.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your business, we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Other firms sell this as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.
Someone who answers the letter for you
HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent, so the post and the phone calls come to us. You get told in plain English what is being asked.
A reply the same working day
Ring us the morning the brown envelope arrives and the call costs nothing. If the answer needs longer, we still come back that day to say when.
What owners tell us when they call
These are the words people use when HMRC has written and nobody has explained it.
HMRC has written to me about my VAT and I do not know what the letter means.
The deadline on the letter ran while he waited for his accountant to call back.
I got a bill for about twenty thousand pounds and nobody has told me what it is for.
Part of it was estimated payments on account that should never have stood.
My accountant says he will look at it, and that was a week ago.
HMRC does not pause while an email sits unanswered, and interest keeps running.
What changes once we take it on
HMRC post comes to us as your agent and we answer it inside the deadline. We go back through your returns and your HMRC record to see what the figures are actually built on. You know what is owed and what is being disputed.
How this usually works elsewhere, and how it works with us
Plenty of firms handle enquiries well. The difference is what lands on the invoice afterwards.
The usual arrangement
Investigation cover sold as an add-on each year
Enquiry work billed by the hour on top
Calls and emails about the letter are chargeable
You chase for an answer while the deadline runs

Eight questions about how your HMRC post is handled
Answer each one yes or no about your current set-up.
Has HMRC written to you in the last twelve months?
Letters about VAT checks are landing on more shops and takeaways than they used to.
Did somebody explain the letter in plain English?
You should know what is being asked and by when, without reading it twice.
Is your accountant authorised as your agent with HMRC?
If not, HMRC talks to you and not to them.
Do you know what your HMRC balance is actually made of?
Estimated payments on account sit inside a lot of balances nobody has checked.
Are your VAT returns and records up to date?
Late or patchy records are what turns a short check into a long one.
Would enquiry work be charged on top of your usual fee?
With us it is not, because tax investigation cover is included free for clients.
Does a ten minute phone call end up on an invoice?
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged here.
Have you ever had a penalty you thought was worth appealing?
We look at penalties on the way in, as part of going through your HMRC record.
What we do when HMRC writes to you
We take the letter off you, answer it inside the deadline, then fix what caused it.

What going through an HMRC debt line by line turned up
A client came to us owing HMRC around £20,000 across Corporation Tax, VAT and Self Assessment. He had no idea what the debts were for.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
- How it was found
- We went through every line and found much of the Self Assessment balance was payments on account based on estimates, so we filed his return early.
- What happened
- That part of the debt was cancelled and HMRC wrote off the interest charged on it, and he knew exactly what he owed.
Reviews from clients
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.
I just want to say a big thank you to Mudassir for all the advice, guidance and help he has provided whilst dealing with my accounts and tax returns. From start to finish the service has been excellent and professional. Unlike other accountancy firms they provide a friendly personalised service, I was very clear on the process and was even provided with additional guidance where needed. Highly recommended!
Friendly, nice 👌 , helpful and great all around
Difficult to describe as there are too many words that can be expressed for a wonderful accountant and their firm.
Definitely 🔝 and highly recommended in Wales 🏴 and throughout the UK for Accountancy and Tax Services

Getting started
Four steps from your first answers to knowing where you stand with HMRC.
- Before you join
Your fee agreed in writing
You answer a few questions on this page. Mudassir reads them and replies the same working day, and we agree your fixed fee before any work starts.
- Week one
We become your HMRC agent
We complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Your HMRC record gone through
We read your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records. This is where unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up.
- By ninety days
Every deadline mapped for the year
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and on your bookkeeping. You know what is coming up and who to call.
Who we are not right for
Businesses already late in an HMRC investigation, because by then the timetable is set.
CIS construction subcontractors, as this is not work we take on.
Charities, whose accounts sit outside what we do.
If you are unsure which of these describes you, start the check and we will tell you straight.
HMRC investigation help in Port Talbot: questions people ask
What does HMRC investigation help in Port Talbot cost?
For our clients it costs nothing extra, because tax investigation cover is included free with the fixed fee we agree in writing before any work starts. Other firms sell the same cover as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year. Calls, meetings and emails about your HMRC letter are never charged.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes. We write to your current accountant for your records, so you do not have to make that call. We complete your ID checks, get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House, and the handover carries no separate charge. The first month is free, and so is a move to Xero if you want one.
What happens if HMRC opens a check into my business?
We deal with HMRC for you. The post and the calls come to us as your agent, we answer what has been asked inside the deadline, and you pay us nothing extra. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won. One thing to say straight: we cannot take on a business that is already late in an investigation.
Do I have to change my accounting software?
No. We work with the cloud software you already use and keep your records up to date in it. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free, at a point in the year that suits you. Nobody has to switch systems in the middle of answering an HMRC letter.
Do I need to travel to Cardiff to get HMRC investigation help in Port Talbot?
No. We are based at Titan House in Cardiff Bay and most of the work is done remotely, by phone and email, with documents shared online. You are welcome to come to the office if you would rather sit down with us. Over 90% of our clients are in South Wales.
Why has HMRC written to my shop or takeaway?
HMRC does not always say why. Checks often follow late returns, VAT figures that look out of line with the trade, repayment claims, or records that do not tie back to the till. The letter itself tells you what information is wanted and by when, and that is where we start.
