PAYE Tax Investigations

We resolve PAYE Tax Investigations for businesses across the UK in a cost effective-manner, timely manner using our 20 years of experience working with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to solve their PAYE tax problems.

All PAYE Tax Investigations are stressful, time-consuming and complex and our expert understanding of the tax investigation process means we make PAYE Investigations as painless as possible.

With experience working as an Inspector of Taxes behind us, we quickly establish where PAYE Investigations are leading and ensure Inspectors do not overstep their powers.

In all cases we challenge and negotiate with HMRC on your behalf to determine the best outcome for you and ensure you achieve PAYE compliance.

PAYE audits are carried out by HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct PAYE tax rates and meeting your National Insurance (NI) obligations with most resulting in some mistakes being found.

In general, PAYE Tax Investigations cover the following areas of your payroll with any HMRC penalties dependent on your level of co-operation and the size of any errors found:

  • Employment Status and Freelance Tax
  • IR35 Tax
  • National Insurance Contributions (NIC) and Deductions – Collectively known as NI Tax
  • PAYE Settlement Agreements (PSAs)
  • PAYE Tax Rates and Operations
  • Taxable Benefits In Kind and Taxable Allowances
  • Termination payments

As a result, each PAYE audit is different and we tailor our approach to establish the facts of each case from the start helping you become PAYE compliance as quickly as possible.

All our PAYE Tax Investigation services are competitively-priced and we will work on an hourly basis or under a fixed fee arrangement.

We can assist you with any kind of PAYE enquiries and, to save your time and money, if we don’t think we can help we'll let you know from the outset.

We also deal with a range of other Tax Investigations with further information available on the following pages of our website:
