Award winning tax advisory services
Few things stop a business in its tracks like a brown envelope from HMRC. A compliance check, a VAT assessment that doesn’t add up, a PAYE enquiry, or a tax bill you can’t pay. Left unmanaged, these issues escalate quickly and start affecting cash flow, operations and decisions. What happens in the first 48 hours often defines the next 12 months.
At The Tax Guys, we don’t just respond, we take control of the situation and work to stabilise and turn your position around. We’ve handled every type of HMRC enquiry, investigation and debt scenario the UK system can produce. You get a confidential, no-judgement review, a clear strategy, and a specialist managing your case end-to-end on a fixed-fee basis.
Take back control with our Tax Turnaround Programme, built specifically for UK businesses facing HMRC pressure. We follow a four-stage process designed to take the panic out of the situation and replace it with a clear path forward, all on a fixed-fee basis.
What you can expect from day one when partnering with us:
- Confidential Diagnostic & Strategic Plan: A no-obligation review of the facts, correspondence and exposure, followed by a fixed-fee proposal setting out exactly what we’ll do, what HMRC is likely to ask for, and what the realistic outcomes look like.
- End-to-End HMRC Representation: We take over correspondence with HMRC. You stop receiving the letters. We negotiate, settle, appeal, or take the matter to tribunal, whichever route serves you best.
- Business Turnaround & Future-Proofing: Once the immediate problem is resolved, we make sure it doesn’t come back, tightening up bookkeeping, adjusting your tax position going forward, and putting a real strategy in place..
Let us take care of the details so you can focus on what truly matters.

THINK YOU ARE OVERPAYING YOUR TAX BILLS?
AVOID THE 12 BIGGEST PROFIT MISTAKES UK BUSINESSES MAKE
Will the initial call really be confidential?
Yes. Every initial review is confidential and judgement-free. You can share the situation honestly so we can give you accurate advice on where you stand and what your options are.
Can you help if I've already been ignoring HMRC for months?
Yes. Most clients come to us after months of avoidance. The situation is almost always recoverable, the key is acting now. We take over correspondence so you stop receiving the letters.
How does fixed-fee pricing work for an HMRC investigation?
After the diagnostic call, we issue a fixed-fee proposal covering scope, likely outcomes and cost. You know exactly what it will cost before work begins. No open-ended hourly bills.
Can you negotiate a time-to-pay arrangement on a tax debt?
Yes. We negotiate time-to-pay arrangements with HMRC for corporation tax, VAT and PAYE debts, structured around realistic cashflow rather than HMRC’s opening position.
What's the difference between COP8 and COP9?
COP8 covers serious tax avoidance investigations. COP9 covers suspected serious tax fraud and offers the Contractual Disclosure Facility. Both require specialist representation from day one, getting the response right at the start materially affects the outcome.
Can you take a case to tribunal if HMRC won't settle reasonably?
Yes. We represent clients at First-tier and Upper Tribunal where the dispute can’t be resolved through correspondence or settlement. End-to-end representation on a fixed-fee basis.
