Aspect Tax Investigations require fewer resources to perform and are less costly than Full Tax Investigations. Therefore, aspect Tax Investigations highlight HMRC’s attempt to become more cost-effective in the face of the government’s line of austerity that brings spending cuts and staff reductions across many areas of government while still implementing tax legislation. So don’t delay if you have received a notice or letter from HMRC about your tax affairs.

Typically, the outcomes of Aspect Tax Investigations highlight genuine mistakes or misunderstandings by the business or individuals that led to some form of tax evasion rather than any deliberate attempt to evade tax.
