The HMRC factsheet, “Penalties for inaccuracies in returns and documents” is issued when HMRC believes a penalty is likely to be due. The ebook is full of the information you need to know if you are being investigated.
Penalties play a very important part in any tax investigation, in some cases they can double the final amount HMRC demands. This is a really important document, it sets out your rights and even tells you how you can avoid paying a penalty all together – but this information is buried.
We go through the document paragraph–by–paragraph - in plain English - telling you what HMRC really means and what you need to know.
You will learn the answers to the following
• Can I avoid paying a penalty? • What is reasonable care? • What is carelessness? • What categories are HMRC putting me into? • What category do I want to be in? • What is telling, helping and giving? • What are my obligations to HMRC? • What documents can HMRC legitimately ask for? • What is a reasonable time to answer questions? • What is a reasonable time to produce documents? • Why will HMRC try to erode my expenses? • What does HMRC mean by ‘reasonable care’? • What does HMRC mean by ‘carelessness’? • What does HMRC mean by ‘deliberate’? • What does HMRC mean by ‘concealed’? • What is an unprompted disclosure? • What are penalty ranges? • How does HMRC calculate a penalty? • When will HMRC suspend a penalty? • When will HMRC tell you about a penalty?How does HMRC deal with fraud? • When can I appeal?
