Fee protection

Fee protection for HMRC enquiries

If HMRC opens an enquiry or compliance check, the professional time needed to respond can be significant. Our fee protection service, provided through Croner, covers our professional fees for dealing with eligible enquiries, so you get full support without an unexpected bill.

What it covers

Tax return enquiries

Our fees for handling eligible HMRC enquiries into company and personal tax returns.

VAT and payroll checks

Our fees for responding to eligible HMRC compliance visits and checks on VAT and PAYE.

Correspondence and meetings

Preparing information, corresponding with HMRC and attending meetings on your behalf, within the terms of the policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does fee protection pay any tax that is due?

No. It covers our professional fees for dealing with an eligible enquiry. Any tax, interest or penalties HMRC decides are due remain payable by you.

Do I have to be a client to join?

Fee protection is available to clients alongside the work we already do for you. We will confirm what is covered when you join.

Are all enquiries covered?

Cover depends on the terms of the policy. Some situations, such as enquiries into deliberate errors or matters that began before cover started, are usually excluded. We will explain the terms before you sign up.
