About Tax Enquiry Solutions

Principal Consultant - Tony Willetts

Our Principal Consultant is Tony Willetts. He worked for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for 17 years and has experience of dealing with both Self Assessment Enquiries and PAYE/NIC Enquiries. The PAYE/NIC Enquiry work was carried out at HMRC's Large Employer Compliance Office in Birmingham. This work involved dealing with the largest employers in the country. He has also worked as a consultant with top accountancy firm KPMG.

Tony then ran his own business offering accountancy and taxation services to small businesses whilst continuing to provide specialist Tax Enquiry help to other accountants.

His experience of dealing with all businesses from small, local businesses to the largest UK companies means that he is ideally placed to deal with all types of Enquiry work - however large or small.

Our Services

Much of our work involves providing Solutions For Accountants when their clients are involved in a Tax Enquiry. We provide specialist help to the small practitioner who often does not have the time or specialist skills required to deal with a Tax Enquiry.

We also undertake work direct from Business Owners/Managers or Individuals. You may well have an accountant who deals with your general day-to-day accounting and taxation requirements. However, most accountants acknowledge the need for specialist help when it comes to Tax Enquiry work. We are happy to work alongside your existing accountant (if you have one) in order to provide this specialist help. So if you are a Business Owner/Manager or an Individual and you have a Tax Enquiry problem, see our Solutions for Business and Individuals page.

If you do not have an existing accountant to represent you, we would strongly advise against trying to deal with your Tax Enquiry on your own. HMRC are likely to go to town on someone who is not represented and you could find yourself agreeing to a settlement that is considerably higher than it should be. Conversely, if we represent you, HMRC are much more likely to be realistic - faced with the fact that they are dealing with experts in this field.
