The primary rôle of revenue authorities is to collect the maximum amount of money for the government. Pressure on these authorities to maximise revenue has become so great that their approach is often to make large assessments, with little or no justification, and to wait to be challenged.
Such approaches are most common when making assessments on inheritance tax, on exceptional income or gains and during tax investigations. There are also documented cases of HMRC making assessments based on an approach that is contrary to Human Rights legislation.
When challenging the tax authorities it is important to submit an appeal which targets inconsistencies, incorrect assumptions and unfair claims. Those best placed to make an effective appeal are those who know the system from the inside out: ex-Revenue consultants.
