Freedom of Information Act

A tool which we use more frequently is an application to see the taxpayer’s files under the Freedom of Information Act, alongside disclosure applications within the tax courts. 

Such applications can bring out unexpected information including: -

• Prejudicial comments by the inspector
   
• Establishing that HMRC held information they claimed not to
   
• Discovering that HMRC held a contrary private view as to the efficacy of a taxpayer’s accounting system to that which they claimed within court papers

We know when and how to use the system. 

The advice we are asked to provide covers many other areas. If you would like to discuss any matters with us or to arrange a meeting please call us on +44 (0)121 483 6850 or click here to contact us.
