Management Consultants – Resolving HMRC Tax Issues

It Happens

Even the most diligent management consultants — whether independent advisers or part of large firms — can find themselves facing tax problems or HMRC enquiries.

Long hours, multiple client projects, international assignments, and variable income can create complex personal and corporate tax situations.

Sometimes deadlines are missed, advice is misunderstood, or historic filings fall behind.

It’s rarely intentional. But once HMRC is involved, it must be addressed promptly, professionally, and discreetly.

We Have Helped Many Management Consultants – We Can Help You

If you are a management consultant dealing with:

• Unfiled or late tax returns
• Complex income from multiple sources
• Offshore income or assignment reporting issues
• HMRC enquiries (COP8/COP9) or investigations

…we can help you regain control and resolve your tax matters with confidence.

Our services include:

• Voluntary disclosures to HMRC (unprompted or prompted)
• Negotiation to reduce penalties, surcharges, and interest
• Time-to-Pay arrangement planning
• Full compliance restoration for personal and corporate tax
• Guidance on reporting income from consulting, bonuses, and international projects

We represent you directly with HMRC, ensuring confidentiality, discretion, and the best possible outcomes.

It’s More Common Than You Think

Management consultants often work across multiple clients, projects, and countries. Small oversights can lead to:

• Missed self-assessment deadlines
• Misreported overseas income
• VAT or fee reporting issues

Even highly experienced professionals can become exposed to HMRC investigations without realizing it. Early voluntary disclosure often prevents escalation and reduces penalties.

We’ve helped numerous consultants resolve serious HMRC issues before they turn into full investigations.

What Do Serious HMRC Issues Look Like for Management Consultants?

Typical examples include:

• Undeclared overseas income or international project payments
• Capital Gains Tax miscalculations
• Late or incorrect self-assessment filings
• VAT misreporting on consultancy fees
• Misuse or misunderstanding of expense allowances
• Errors in corporate or partnership tax filings

HMRC treats cases with potential recoveries over £50,000 as serious — but expert handling can significantly reduce exposure, penalties, and stress.

Why Professionals Delay Acting

Consultants are accustomed to problem-solving for clients, yet many feel embarrassed or anxious about their own tax compliance.

Fear of reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, or career impact often leads to delays.

Ignoring the problem only makes matters worse. Acting early, with expert guidance, gives you control and clarity.

We handle your case discreetly, managing HMRC engagement so you can focus on your career and clients.
