Tax Investigation Protection Policy for UK Companies

Why You Need a Tax Investigation Protection Policy

Even the most compliant UK limited companies can face a surprise HMRC inquiry. Our tax investigation protection policy provides peace of mind by covering professional fees incurred during such investigations. Whether it’s a routine check or a complex enquiry, these situations can become time-consuming and costly without adequate protection.

What Is Covered Under Our Policy?

Our non-regulated fee protection service is designed to support owner-managed businesses and fast-growth start-ups throughout the UK. Key features include:

Full Representation from Our Experts

You’ll receive representation from a qualified accountant who understands your business. We’ll liaise directly with HMRC, manage documentation and respond on your behalf, minimising stress and disruption.

Coverage for a Wide Range of HMRC Investigations

Whether it's PAYE, VAT, corporation tax or income tax - you’ll be covered for a variety of HMRC enquiries, including:

  • Full enquiries
  • Aspect enquiries
  • Business record checks
  • Employer compliance visits

No Surprise Bills

Professional representation in HMRC investigations can easily run into thousands of pounds. This policy ensures you're protected from these unexpected costs.

Affordable Protection for Your Business

We offer two simple pricing options:

  • £150 per year (billed annually)
  • £15 per month (added to your current plan)

This means you can spread the cost over the year or pay upfront - whatever works best for your cash flow.

Who Should Consider This Policy?

This tax investigation protection policy is ideal for:

  • Limited companies with active trading
  • Owner-managed businesses
  • Start-ups with rapid growth plans
  • Any company seeking proactive defence against HMRC scrutiny

If your accounts, payroll or tax filings are handled professionally, this is the final step in ensuring you’re completely protected from the financial impact of an investigation.

How to Add the Policy to Your Plan

Getting covered is easy. Contact your Agile Accountants adviser to:

  1. Confirm the monthly or annual payment method
  2. Add the policy to your service plan
  3. Receive confirmation and start your protection

We’ll take care of the rest, ensuring your policy is active from the agreed start date.

    I found myself needing an accountant to manage several workflows for our tech start-up in very short order. Within a couple of days, James had sorted us out and got everything in order for our next stage of growth, at a very reasonable price. Couldn't recommend Agile enough.

    Anish & James have been super helpful since the beginning. They help us navigate all things accounting. From adjusting our reporting periods, preparing quarterly VAT returns, review management reports, prepare payslips and even the occasional complicated HMRC requests we receive. Response time is always super fast. Big shout to Agile Accountants ! On behalf of Tootilab, thanks so much Anish and team.

    I had an excellent experience working with James Faulkner and the team at Agile Accountants. James provided clear, practical, and highly responsive guidance on a complex founder shareholding and vesting matter for our company. He took the time to carefully review our Articles of Association, explain the implications of different shareholder outcomes, highlight potential tax considerations, and walk us through the available options in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner. His advice was thoughtful, balanced, and helped us navigate an important decision with confidence. What stood out most was James's willingness to provide detailed support, answer follow-up questions promptly, and ensure we understood both the technical and practical aspects of the process. I would highly recommend James and Agile Accountants to any founder or growing business looking for knowledgeable, professional, and dependable accounting support.

    I cannot recommend Agile Accountants highly enough. From day one, the entire team has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely caring. They consistently go above and beyond, making what can often feel like a stressful part of running a business so much easier. What has stood out most is how protective and invested they are in their clients. You never feel like just another account—they take the time to understand your business, provide thoughtful guidance, and always have your best interests at heart. Their systems and processes are exceptional. Everything is organised, efficient and easy to navigate, giving me complete confidence that things are being handled properly. Communication is always prompt, professional and friendly, and every member of the team has been a pleasure to deal with. If you’re looking for an accountancy firm that combines outstanding expertise with genuine care and exceptional client service, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Agile Accountants. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do.
