If HMRC decide to open a tax investigation into your Partnership Tax Return, they will send you a letter informing you of their decision to open a tax investigation quoting Section 12A TMA 1970.
The letter will be headed 'Check of Self Assessment Return' and can come across as being almost friendly, appearing to be just a quick enquiry about some misunderstood aspect on the form. You may be invited in for an interview to clear up the problem.
Do not be fooled. You have been selected for a tax investigation because HMRC suspect serious irregularities or under payment. The tax man means business. The letter starts – “Every year we check a number of returns to make sure they are correct and that our customers are paying the right amount of tax.” It feels that you have been selected at random.
A check of self assessment tax return is no longer a random affair. A tiny percentage of checks each year are now random. If HMRC are writing to you, they know, as you probably know, that your return was not quite what it should have been.
Usually, by the time you have received a Section 12A TMA 1970 notice, HMRC have already conducted an initial investigation into your affairs and have already decided that there is a substantial tax liability.
