Professional Fee Protection Insurance from £49 p.a.

Stern & Company are offering their clients insurance to cover the cost of professional representation in an Inland Revenue, VAT or PAYE investigation. We understand that few individuals or businesses will escape an investigation, be it random or selected for more than 5 or 6 years.

The Inland Revenue has powers to investigate income tax payers at random, and the number of these investigations is expected to increase dramatically over the coming year. If you are a Self Assessment tax payer, an employer filing P11D forms on employee benefits, or VAT returns, or you are responsible for employee's PAYE - you could be subject to a random investigation.

Professional Fee Protection Insurance covers:

• Self Assessment Full Enquiries
  
• In-depth Accounts Investigations (Corporation Tax & Income Tax)
  
• Employer Compliance Investigations (P11D and PAYE)
  
• Contributions Agency National Insurance Investigations
  
• HM Customs & Excise VAT disputes
  
• Employment compliance disputes, including PAYE/P11D.

The insurance pays up to £75,000 Professional Expenses - which would pay for our fees or any experts you may need to support your case.

We can't stop the authorities from commencing enquiries, but this insurance does mean you will benefit from excellent advice when you need it most.
