Want to learn more about HMRC Disclosure Facilities before arranging your free consultation? There's lots of useful information on this page covering:
HMRC have over the last 8 years offered taxpayers a number of HMRC disclosure Facilities.
Each facility has been very targeted and designed to encourage people in certain sectors to come forward and bring their tax affairs up to date where they have made mistakes. Sectors previously targeted by HMRC include, amongst others:
Most HMRC disclosure facility campaigns are targeted with a specific opening and closing date and many have already closed.
HMRC have stated that the purpose of each facility is to offer people (including Companies) a chance to get their tax affairs in order on the best possible terms. Prior to offering a disclosure facility, HMRC will conduct a large information gathering exercise (for example, getting information from letting agents on let property) using their extensive information powers. If people do not partake in the disclosure, HMRC have stated that they will use the information gathered to conduct follow up work. HMRC specifically say that this will include tax investigations and prosecutions.
There are a number of HMRC disclosure facility options still available at the moment including the Let Property Campaign and the Worldwide Disclosure Facility.
HMRC's literature suggests that completing the forms is relatively easy. To deal with matters properly, an individual needs to understand tax law and accounts.
HMRC's suggested time line from start to finish for the HMRC disclosure facility arrangements is 3 months. Payment of any tax due is also expected at the 3 month period. This is a very difficult time line and although it can be managed it needs the involvement of people who are familiar with dealing with the HMRC disclosure facility.
The forms and guidance given in the HMRC disclosure facility arrangements are not very well designed and can cause confusion where a number of different taxes are involved.
