HMRC Compliance
Help with driver record-keeping, MTD preparation and HMRC correspondence, with responsibilities and scope agreed before work begins.
HMRC Compliance: What You Need to Know
Keep driver records organised, understand correspondence and agree who handles each reporting obligation. We can review the records or letter before confirming the scope of support.
The indicative £250–£750 range depends on the work and complexity. A routine records review, ongoing MTD support and an active investigation are different engagements; complex matters may need a specialist referral.

Understanding HMRC Compliance
How HMRC Compliance Actually Works
Self-employed records normally need retaining for at least five years after the relevant 31 January submission deadline. Longer rules can apply to late returns or enquiries. Check HMRC’s retention guidance; VAT has separate requirements.
If HMRC contacts you, preserve the letter and deadline. Replies should be accurate, complete for the request and supported by records. Do not invent explanations, conceal relevant facts or assume a particular outcome is guaranteed.
For an overdue annual return or penalty letter, use our Self Assessment missed-deadline decision flow to separate filing, payment and appeal tasks before requesting help.
The MTD guide explains the qualifying-income tests and quarterly responsibilities. Agree software, bookkeeping, reviews and submissions explicitly instead of assuming they are included in an annual return fee.
Platform reporting does not replace your own tax obligations. Use the income reconciliation guide to investigate differences. Earlier errors need the correct amendment or disclosure route for the facts and period.
Is HMRC Compliance Right for You?
This service may be useful if you need help with:
- Preparing for MTD Income Tax
- Responding to an HMRC request for information
- Reviewing missing records or a possible earlier error
An initial consultation is always the right starting point. Your accountant will review your income sources, mileage records, and expense patterns, and give you clear recommendations tailored to your situation.
Points to check before you proceed
Serious investigations and specialist disclosure matters may require a tax-investigation specialist.
Do not discard records while an enquiry is open merely because the usual retention date has passed.
Worked Examples
Illustration: missing platform period
If the bank shows a settlement but the statement file lacks that week, obtain the missing statement and reconcile it before deciding whether income was omitted. A difference alone does not establish fraud or a specific penalty.
HMRC Compliance FAQs
How long should I keep my tax records?
Self-employed records normally need to be kept for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline for the relevant tax year. Longer periods can apply to late returns and enquiries. VAT has separate record-retention requirements.
What should I do with an HMRC letter?
Keep the letter and envelope, note the deadline and gather the records requested. Do not ignore it or send unsupported figures. Contact us to agree the scope of help; complex investigations may require a specialist.
Does platform reporting replace my tax return?
No. Reporting by a platform does not mean it has filed your Self Assessment or paid your personal tax. Reconcile the reported information to your own records.
What is included in the quote?
The written quote confirms the work, reporting periods, total fee, VAT treatment and exclusions before you proceed. Annual Self Assessment, bookkeeping, software, VAT returns, MTD quarterly updates and enquiry work can have different scopes.
