Tax investigations

Many taxpayers will be subject to Inland Revenue investigations at some point during their lives.  This is often through no fault of their own.  There has recently been extra pressure on tax inspectors to conduct more investigations.

Who is at risk of an Inland Revenue investigation?

All taxpayers are potentially at risk from an Inland Revenue investigation.  Certain groups of tax payers are more at risk of an investigation than other groups.  These include self-employed persons, small private companies, workers in the construction industry and businesses with international transactions.
