Fee Protection Insurance Scheme
For many years, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has put extra resources into pursuing more tax. As a result, clients face an increased risk of an enquiry into their tax affairs. Enquiries are often more complex than in the past and the costs of responding are higher. So it is as important as it has ever been for clients to obtain protection against those costs.

We have considerable expertise in defending clients under enquiry by HMRC. If you are selected for a tax enquiry, we will aim to settle it quickly and minimise the final tax liabilities. Even so, answering all of HMRC’s questions takes time and the enquiry could drag on for many months. It can cost thousands of pounds to defend you, whatever the end result.
To provide peace of mind, we are introducing a Fee Protection Insurance Scheme and we recommend that all clients join the Scheme. Professional fees for defending clients in tax enquiries can be claimed under the insurance policy. Clients who join the Scheme will also be able to obtain helpful advice about the complex areas of Health & Safety and Employment Law.
