We will also handle HMRC queries and correspondence on your behalf, quickly and efficiently, so that you can concentrate on running your business.

VAT services

The VAT regime is so complex that many businesses overpay or underpay VAT without meaning to. Dealing with VAT can also act as a drain on your in-house resources.

Turning to professionals in the VAT field for efficient, cost-effective services means that you will stay compliant with VAT regulations and only pay the tax you owe.

Our services include VAT registration, checking of VAT returns that you have prepared in-house, preparing VAT returns on your behalf and VAT control and reconciliation.

We can also advise on both day-to-day VAT issues and on the VAT implications of specific business transactions and assist in VAT investigations.

HM Revenue & Customs enquiries

We understand that if you are the focus of an HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) enquiry or dispute, you need expert help and support through the process.

Enquiries can vary from questions about a particular aspect of your tax return to a detailed examination of a specific transaction to a full investigation of every aspect of a taxpayer’s affairs.

Our knowledge of tax legislation and compliance, and experience in dealing with HMRC enquiries, mean that we can provide constructive advice and support throughout what can be a stressful process.

You will be able to focus on your day-to-day affairs while we liaise with HMRC inspectors to bring the investigation to a satisfactory conclusion and negotiate settlements that minimise claims for any tax and penalties.

We can also represent clients before the General and Special Commissioners – the bodies that resolve disputes between HMRC and taxpayers – if settlements cannot be agreed.

Tax Investigation cover

The costs of an HMRC tax investigation are likely to be significant, so we offer the Murphy Salisbury Tax Investigation Cover to protect clients from this financial burden.

This service will cover the cost of our professional fees in achieving the best possible outcome for you, if you are subject to an HMRC enquiry.

Our service not only covers your business but also the personal returns of all sole traders, partners and directors for whom we act. The service also includes access to a 24-hour business legal helpline, providing employment, health and safety and commercial advice.
