If HM Revenue & Customs choose you or your company for investigation, there’s no need to panic – Randall & Payne can help you avoid additional payments or high penalties.
Our expert team has many years of experience in dealing with HMRC inquiries and investigations. This includes representing clients in tax tribunals and dealing with the Special Compliance Office – the arm of HMRC that deals with the most serious cases of suspected fraud and can carry out criminal prosecutions.
If you have been chosen for investigation, our specialists will draw on their expertise to represent you and manage the investigation throughout, keeping you informed at every step:
Tax investigations can be costly, but there’s no need to wait for the worst to happen – we offer a Tax Investigation Service if required, which covers our fees for dealing with the inquiry, provided no taxpayer fraud is involved. This service includes an ‘out of hours’ Client Legal Helpline which is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (it deals with common legal issues such as: health and safety, employment and HR, and commercial legal matters).
Our professional expertise has ensured that clients have avoided any additional tax payments, or have been given low penalties and settlement sums when tax has been underpaid.
James Geary has assisted me with planning a number of corporate restructures both for my business and for a few of my clients. He has the ability to consider the goals of all concerned to come up with a solution which not only works for everyone, but maintains tax efficiency and has always managed to secure the necessary advance clearance from HMRC without any hiccups. Very responsive and thoroughly recommended.
The team helped select case studies to best illustrate the research and development elements of what we do and assisted at every stage of making a submission. I can’t recommend them enough.
I’d like to say a big thank you to Shaun Pegler and the team at Randall & Payne for always being there and for the invaluable support they give to me and the Applied Change team. They regularly go above and beyond and recently have delivered quickest turn round in year-end accounts so far, including an R&D tax credit. In my case, they haven’t just talked about clients’ success they have actually delivered it, time and time again and in all areas of finance, from tax to payroll to year-end and now book-keeping too. Thank you all and looking forward to continuing to raise the bar together!
We instructed James Geary at Randall & Payne to redistribute some shares for our small business after finding him through one of his blog posts. Not only did he advise us on what we needed in a clear and simple way, he answered all our questions quickly and in a friendly, non-condescending way. The price was very reasonable for the service we received. James went above and beyond, and even liaised with our accountant on our behalf. We would recommend Randall & Payne, and especially James for his knowledge and professionalism, and the ease of working with them.
Randall & Payne have been our accountants, auditors and financial advisors for well over 25 years and continue to be a trusted partner. They act quickly and efficiently, covering all aspects of the fiscal side of our business, including administering our payroll, looking after our tax affairs, year-end accounting and financial planning. As we look to the future, we are happy in the knowledge that Randall & Payne will be working with us to face the challenges ahead.
I wasn’t aware of R&D before engaging with the firm and they guided me through the process brilliantly, extracting the right information and presenting it in a way that was successful. Nothing was too much trouble, even jumping on a screen share with my current Accountant to do things I don’t need to understand! Was delighted with the service as well as the lovely refund we received, and will happily (and frequently do!) recommend them to anyone!
I have been a client of Randall & Payne’s for many years now, both for personal and company accounting services, and I cannot fault them. The firm is excellent across the spectrum, from business leadership coaching and financial planning to practical tax advice. I feel I know the advisers personally now and am always met with the same level of professionalism and friendliness. Even when I feel I may be asking very ‘simple’ questions, they still make me feel valued.
