We are not HMRC

We are an independent firm of accountants and tax advisers. We are not HM Revenue & Customs and are not connected to it.

General information, not advice

The information on this site is general guidance about HMRC investigations. It is not advice for your situation and should not be relied on as such. Tax law and HMRC practice change, and every case is different.

The risk check gives a general indication only. It is not an assessment of your case and does not predict any outcome.

Sending us an enquiry, calling us or taking the risk check does not make you our client. We only act for you once we have agreed terms with you in a signed engagement letter.

Using the site

Please do not misuse the site, try to gain unauthorised access to it, or send us false or automated enquiries. The site's content belongs to us or our licensors; you may print or save pages for your own use.

Links to other websites

We link to other sites, such as GOV.UK and our sister site cop9tax.co.uk, for your convenience. We are not responsible for their content.

Our liability

We take care to keep the site accurate and available but cannot guarantee it will always be either. So far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

Your information

How we handle your details is set out in our privacy notice and cookie policy.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
