HMRC has introduced a new interactive tool which aims to help taxpayers with compliance checks.
The new free online Interactive Compliance Guidance tool can help businesses understand HMRC compliance checks. It aims to provide information and support about compliance checks (VAT inspections).
The tool provides information to help taxpayers understand:
- HMRC compliance checks
- why HMRC has requested specific information or documents
- how to request extra support due to health or personal circumstances
- how to appoint someone to act on your behalf
- what to do if you disagree with a decision made by HMRC
- how to pay a tax assessment or penalty.
It brings together existing compliance guidance and videos in one place, making it easier to find and navigate the appropriate information.
