HMRC's MTD "Sleepwalking To Disaster"

 


As per Andrew Oury (partner at Oury Clark):

"My concern is that the government hasn’t considered the full ramifications of the MTD project. To my eye, it looks like MTD has been designed with a linear mindset that only has one goal: to meet revenue targets. Businesses have always had idiosyncrasies – unexpected periods of fallow earnings, for example – and, up until now, there has been some leeway in coping with them within the comparatively rigid tax framework. I also would hate entrepreneurship to be stifled in this country as a result of taxing income too rapidly.

Serious questions will need to be asked of this initiative to avoid sleepwalking into disaster."

In other words it will add to the costs of businesses and won't work in the real world.

Tax does have to be taxing.

Tax Investigation Insurance

Having a Solar Protect Tax Investigation Insurance policy at your disposal means that should you be one of the many 1000's of businesses or individuals that are selected by HMRC each year to look into your tax affairs your own accountant (your tax return agent) can get on and defend you robustly.

You have the peace of mind knowing that your accountant's (your tax return agent) fees will be paid by the insurance without any Excess for you to find.

Tax Investigation Insurance is an insurance policy that will fully reimburse your accountants (your tax return agent) fees up to £100,000 if you are subject to enquiry by or dispute with HMRC.

A Solar Protect policy will enable your Accountant (your tax return agent) to:
  • Deal with any correspondence from HMRC
  • Attend any meeting with HMRC
  • Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal
  • Having the security of knowing that fees will be met in full will enable your Accountant (your tax return agent) to defend your position robustly
