These risks are usually identified when discrepancies are found between information from third party sources and details filed as part of a tax return.Find out more in our published article: HMRC enquiries: 'Why a strong tax risk management framework is critical for businesses'  SUBSCRIBE:Stay up to date with our latest insights, subscribe to our mailing list here and choose the topics you’re interested in: https://bit.ly/3ArrCoaGET IN TOUCH:Have any feedback?
