Tax Investigations - London Tax Society

Tax Investigations Specialists

What We Do

London Tax Network is a tax investigations and dispute resolution specialist firm. Interventions by HMRC can be expensive, stressful and intrusive. We take the stress out of the situation by resolving disputes swiftly and with a mutually agreeable settlement. We liaise with HMRC and the client to respond to HMRC’s queries in a timely and appropriate manner, ensuring that responses are sufficient to allay HMRC’s concerns and with a view to resolution without delay.

Our expertise means we know when HMRC are overstepping their limits and how best to protect the client. We are also able to engage with advisers and assist them “behind the scenes” to resolve disputes.

Our areas of expertise:

Tax investigations and enquiries;
Code of Practice 9 (civil investigation of fraud) investigations;
Responses to Schedule 36 information notices and informal information requests;
Negotiating tax penalties, standalone or as part of the enquiry or investigation;
Advising on “whitespace” additions to tax returns to minimise the risk of enquiry;
Voluntary disclosures to HMRC.

Having been given much conflicting advice, I was fortunate to be referred to Mala Kapacee of London Tax Network. Mala answered every one of my questions in a clear and direct way. Moreover, she was kind, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I am so grateful to her. She was outstanding and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Understanding tax can be quite daunting, but thankfully Mala has been really easy to deal with. She is always professional but more importantly very approachable and shows great sensitivity when dealing with personal financial affairs. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing tax advice.

Although the TMA rules are not widely understood (and are often misunderstood), Mala responded within about 24 hours with a faultless analysis of the issues in the case. I knew that my “client” was in very safe hands.

Mala provided assistance with a voluntary disclosure relating to one of our clients. I found her to be very professional with a high level of practical knowledge in making disclosures as well as technical knowledge. Will definitely seek her assistance in the future if the need for specialist investigation help is required.
