Accountancy practice – client documents
HMRC Compliance Check and Enquiry Letter to the Client
About this document
A letter to send as soon as you learn that HMRC has opened an enquiry into a tax return or started a compliance check. It reassures the client, explains the process and their rights, sets out exactly what you need and by when, flags the penalty position and asks the client to tell you now about anything that may be wrong. It comes with an information request form and an enquiry tracker.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
