Corporate Tax and PAYE Enquiries

Under Corporate Self Assessment the Inland Revenue can instigate an enquiry into a company's tax affairs in much the same way as the procedures used for enquiries into an individual's tax return. However, the Revenue often commence an enquiry into a company's Corporation Tax affairs following receipt of information from the PAYE or VAT offices between which there is now a close liaison and exchange of information. Specialist enquiries into P11D returns (benefits in kind for directors and higher paid employees) can be particularly detailed and often the company might not be aware of the claims it can make to counter the views taken by an Inspector of Taxes.

For owner-managed companies an enquiry into the company's affairs may only be concluded after reviewing the personal tax files of the directors and shareholders.

For subsidiaries, associates or branches of foreign companies, or where a UK company has a foreign interest, the Revenue have expressed concern regarding matters relating to transfer pricing of goods and services.
