Protecting your position: Why legal privilege matters in an HMRC dispute

If you are facing a dispute with HMRC, you will likely need a significant amount of professional advice, sometimes over a period of many months or even years.

In that situation, one of the biggest advantages of working with a lawyer is that, in most cases, your correspondence and discussions cannot be demanded and produced in litigation or to HMRC because they are protected by a doctrine known as ‘legal professional privilege.’

Can you appeal an HMRC penalty?

Yes, most HMRC penalties can be appealed if you believe they are wrong in fact or law, or if you had a reasonable excuse for your late filing or payment. If HMRC rejects your appeal, you can ask for an internal review by a different officer, and ultimately take the case to the First‑tier Tax Tribunal.

Strict time limits apply to HMRC appeals, so taking prompt action is essential. If you need advice and guidance on preparing the most robust appeal possible, our HMRC team is on hand to help. We will review the penalty, test whether it has been correctly applied, and identify whether there is scope to challenge or mitigate it. If there is, we will prepare and submit your appeal to HMRC and liaise with them on your behalf to secure the optimum outcome.

Offering concise, pragmatic, and commercially-focused advice, our team will support you every step of the way, working hard to secure a favourable outcome with the minimum of disruption to your business.
