Corporate tax enquiries

Helping you reach resolutions quickly and efficiently


HMRC compliance activity with corporates can range from risk assessment through to forensic investigation. From matters that can be dealt with relatively easily, to contentious issues that require strategic thinking. All contact from HMRC requires careful consideration in order to minimise potential disruption and cost. HMRC’s approach is to target resources to areas of risk in order to tackle non-compliance and reduce the UK tax gap.

The KPMG Corporate Tax team includes experts with career long experience of tax enquiries, both as tax Inspectors as well as successfully representing clients. This deep insight into the world of tax enquiries and dispute resolution underpins our excellent track record of helping clients reach resolutions quickly and efficiently.

Our team is experienced in dealing with all parts of HMRC and all kinds of corporate tax enquiries. Whether you are a large business struggling to resolve an issue via your Customer Compliance Manager or a mid-size business facing a difficult enquiry, our team can assist you. We are also adept at dealing with specialist teams at HMRC including the Fraud Investigation Service.
