Reviewing financial records, tax returns, and other relevant documents to identify potential discrepancies or areas of concern, applying your understanding of tax legislation to financial transactions.
Conducting thorough investigations into suspected cases of non-compliance, gathering evidence and analysing data to identify trends to spot compliance risks and proactively mitigate risks and determine the appropriate course of action.
Liaising with taxpayers, their representatives, and other stakeholders is a central aspect of the role. This involves gathering information, clarifying issues, and facilitating resolutions. Effective communication is essential, and interactions may take place through:

Written correspondence, telephony and Face-to-face meetings conducted either in HMRC offices or at business premises, depending on the nature of the engagement.

Resolving disputes effectively and in a way that is lawful and aligns with HMRC’s Customer Charter and Compliance Professional Standards
Preparing comprehensive reports detailing findings, recommendations, and supporting evidence.
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date case files, ensuring you adhere to HMRC policies and procedures.
Collaborating with colleagues and cross-functional teams to ensure consistent application of tax regulations and best practices.
