Case study
Closure notice and penalty assessments
We submitted a successful application to the Tribunal for them to direct that HMRC should accept a late appeal.
After discussions with HMRC, we agreed a settlement in the enquiry so the client was only required to pay an additional £9,000 to HMRC rather than £110,000+ which was a possibility. No penalties were payable and they were no longer at risk of having their details published.
