About Tax Enquiry Advice


When (i) HMRC decide to open a TAX enquiry into your tax returns or (ii) one of the HMRC task forces turn on your sector of business or (iii) you need to make a voluntary disclosure of past irregularities or (iv) even worse you are enquired into under COP9 (CODE OF PRACTICE 9 - or even 8) or Contractual Disclosure Facility then you need to obtain reliable and experienced tax investigation expertise.

Bill and Vicky provide such expertise and have a great track record for getting matters resolved in the client's favour at cost efficient prices. There is nothing in the tax investigation field that they are surprised by with Bill having done over 41 years on the bad side (HMR&C) followed by 16 years success on the good side since 2006 (defending clients and sometimes their accountants).
Vicky supplements his experience with a further 30 years and 5 years and specialises in property letting problems and other opportunities.

Bill was a Fully trained Senior Inspector of Taxes who had spent over 41 years in HMR&C including years as a District Inspector and as a Senior Inspector engaged on Inland Revenue (now called HMR&C) tax frauds with the Inland Revenue - all encompassing - Enquiry Branch (predecessor of HMR&C - Civil Investigation of Fraud/ Specialist Investigations/Taxes Criminal Unit/ Serious Criminal Investigations/COP9 and Contractual Disclosure ). Bill was involved in setting up the Code of Practice 9 Investigations being dealt with for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland before retiring early to take up the cudgels in defending taxpayers/non-taxpayers who have fallen foul of HMR&C.

Vicky was another gamekeeper turned poacher who had enjoyed work as a Tax Inspector and Investigator and also retired early to assist Bill in the partnership. She is the managing partner for our outfit.

Both Bill and Vicky have an extensive knowledge of "all things tax" but both specialise and enjoy Tax Investigation work of all sorts whether the enquiry is with a local office; or one of the more serious offices or agencies or even if you have decided that you want to clear up past years errors or irregularities.

HMRC Penalties are complex as you will understand if you have tried to follow the various articles and views on the Nadhim Zawahi situation.
Clearly most of the so-called experts voicing their opinions and criticisms on this gent have little clue about the complexity and potentials for varying penalties being sought by HMRC. Most saying Careless 30% is at the top of the carelessness range so something must have gone wrong. On balance of probabilities it is probably more likely that it is at the lower end of the "Offshore" penalties regime post 2015-16 - although only Mr Zawahi and HMRC will know all.
Bill enjoys the complexities of the penalty regime and is able to reliably advise on the range that would apply to any situation and how best to manage any admissions or disclosures to HMRC.

Bill has his mobile with him 24/7 and is quite happy to have a short (up to 30 minutes) chat to see if we(either Bill or Vicky and yourself) would be a good fit for working together; if your problem can be mitigated and if it is something that Bill/Vicky would be willing/able to assist with.

One word of caution however we do not steal any other professionals bread and butter and will not easily get involved if you already have a tax adviser on board. It is best therefore that you get the expert adviser on board from the start or let your adviser know if you intend chatting to us.

Call Bill on 07751720507 or Vicky on 07899913414.

My experience using Tax Enquiry Advice for my disclosure was very positive. I found what could have been a very stressful experience to be made a lot easier. Bill and Vicky ensured that everything was dealt with in a efficient and professional manner and I was kept updated along each step of the process. All of the work was meticulously handled and all deadlines were met as required. I would definitely recommend Tax Enquiry Advise for anyone who requires assistance.

Very grateful for the help that Vicky gave us on a recently settled very complex HMRC review into our business. I am so glad that I found her at the start of the case, as we were able to plan a thorough and robust defence. I was very impressed by Vicky's and Bill's vigour and attention to detail throughout the process. While it was no doubt arduous work to gather together all the necessary evidence, this made the process much easier when it came to the presentation of our findings to HMRC, as we had already pre-vetted everything and had built an ironclad report that was fully accepted by the Revenue. I would recommend anyone in the same situation who wants to seriously settle their tax affairs in a forthright manner to avail of their services.

Truly exceptional work done on my behalf on my recent HMRC Investigation. My tax and vat problems were superbly handled by this company, saving me from complete financial ruin.

When The Tax man called us for what he implied to be a serious irregularities in our Tax position, we were in shock. We realized that this could be a serious case, and we thought of the worse consequences ( courts/penalties/name and shame/etc. Luckily we contacted Bill Stevenson of WAMSTAX who took the case head on, After an initial discussion over the phone, Bill and Vicky agreed to meet us. They were professional and totally non-judgemental, they had an encyclopaedic knowledge of tax and of how the HMRC system worked. He dealt with the tax man for about a year, and had found so many holes in the case. Throughout the enquiries Bill was pointing out mistakes made by the Inspector and raising arguments against the Inspectors assertions. The end result was a reasonable low settlement achieved over a very reasonable time period. I would happily recommend Bills and Vicky's services.

Bill and Vicky have provided outstanding advice and service in respect of my HMRC tax investigation, and I can highly recommend them. The combination of expertise, good humour (very necessary in what can feel like an overwhelming situation), kindness, personal service, excellent advice and extremely good value is a winning one. I almost engaged an accountant to manage my investigation for me, and I am so glad I didn't. Not only would the fees have been much higher, I feel absolutely sure that the outcome would have been far less favourable. I felt at the outset that going straight to the experts was the right thing to do, and with Bill and Vicky, this certainly proved to be the case.

Bill and Vicky have been nothing other than exemplory and professional in handling my tax affairs. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The result I had was way above my expectations. Do yourself a big favour and use Tax Enquiry Advice for all your tax needs. Highly recommended!

12/02/2013. Following a letter in 2011 from HMRC in respect of our Tax affairs we looked to take advice on what the implications were for our Personal and Company liabilities. We contacted Bill Stevenson who from the moment of contact showed a substantial knowledge of what HMRC were looking for. We appointed Bill as our representative without any hesitation. From this moment he involved himself directly with HMRC gaining time and information to formulate a plan of action. Bill undertook a thorough investigation into all of our Tax Affairs, leaving no stone unturned. On advice from Bill we decided to take the more involved route of “COP9” to give us protection from criminal prosecution knowing that we were fully co-operating with HMRC. Although the process was extremely stressful we found Bill and Vicky to be extremely supportive. With Bill’s time and effort we managed to achieve a result that was acceptable to HMRC and ourselves. We would not hesitate to recommend Bill and Vicky should anyone find themselves in a similar position. With Many Thanks for Everything.Moreexpand_more

I first contact Bill & Vicky having got nowhere for 20 months self managing a tax enquiry. It seemed inevitable that having spent 20 months arguing with HMRC they were going to amend my tax return and expect me to pay substantial monies in the form of tax, interest and penalties. I was very lucky to find Bill & Vicky's web site one morning when I was up at 4am because I could not sleep due to the worry of the tax enquiry. From the moment I first spoke with Bill I knew that if anyone could help me it would be them. Bill & Vicky reviewed my file and took over dealing with HMRC. They sent a couple of letters to HMRC and within two months the enquiry was closed with HMRC accepting that my tax return was correct and not needing me to pay any further tax, interest or penalties. Nineteen months on from Bill & Vicky's help in getting my enquiry closed I received a letter from HMRC informing me that they were opening another enquiry into a different year. Bill helped me draft a letter and within two weeks the enquiry was closed with no amendment to my tax return. I cannot recommend Bill & Vicky's service highly enough. They really are available 24 / 7, their knowledge, professionalism and speed of service is the best I have ever experienced from a professional adviser. The outcome they got for me could not have been better.Moreexpand_more

As a busy clinician, to learn that HMRC were to perform an all aspects compliance check on my self-assessment return relating to my private practice was unnerving to say the least. Soon after the initial exchanges it became clear that expert help was pretty urgently required. By great good fortune I chose TEA from an internet search, and was immediately impressed by Bills interest, attention to detail, and passion for what he did. He suggested that they act by 'shadowing' my accountants using their very substantial knowledge and expertise in all tax matters. My case was handed on to Vicky who immediately analysed everything for us, and drafted each and every reply to the Compliance Officer and argued each and every point with authority, tenacity and skill. Though the enquiry took quite some time, the eventual outcome was substantially better than it might have been, and in fact resulted in a reimbursement to me - what a result! If ever anyone I know finds themselves in the same position there is no doubt whatsoever where I would immediately direct them, they could find no one better to help. Dr K. P.

I had not declared my earnings to HMRC for a long time and to be honest I was really worried about the whole situation. I called the Tax Enquiry Advice and started my voluntary disclosure, Vicky was fantastic in sorting my tax affairs she really took control of everything and I was updated on a weekly basis. Thank you Vicky you have been a briliant!

Tax Enquiry Advice. Vicky really did a fantastic job quickly sorting out my offshore banking tax liabilitys. So much so that i didnt have any tax to pay and was due a big tax repayment. Now how fantastic was that?
