Fee Protection Insurance

 

Financial peace of mind against unexpected HMRC investigations

Fee protection insurance – matplus

Fee Protection Insurance gives your business financial security if HMRC decides to open a tax investigation or enquiry. Even when you’ve done everything correctly, HMRC checks can be time-consuming, stressful, and expensive to deal with. This insurance covers the professional fees involved in handling HMRC enquiries — so you’re protected from unexpected costs and have expert representation from start to finish.

HMRC enquiries can be triggered for many reasons: random selection, discrepancies in your accounts, industry benchmarks, or simply increased scrutiny in your sector. Without insurance, the cost of defending an enquiry can be significant, even when no additional tax is due. Fee Protection Insurance ensures you have experienced accountants on your side without worrying about mounting fees.

With this cover in place, we can handle every aspect of the enquiry — from gathering documents and responding to HMRC to negotiating outcomes and ensuring full compliance. You stay protected, your business stays supported, and the financial burden of an investigation is removed.

Fee Protection Insurance offers peace of mind, predictable costs, and a clear defence strategy, allowing you to focus on running your business confidently, whatever HMRC sends your way.

What is Fee Protection Insurance?

Fee Protection Insurance covers the cost of professional fees incurred during an HMRC enquiry or investigation. It ensures you have expert representation without worrying about unexpected bills.

Why would HMRC investigate my business?

HMRC can launch enquiries at random, due to discrepancies, industry trends, or data matching flags. Even honest businesses can be selected, so protection is valuable regardless of your tax history.

What does the insurance actually cover?

It covers the professional fees needed to handle HMRC enquiries, including correspondence, records review, meetings, negotiations, and preparing evidence. It does not cover any tax owed — just the costs of defending your case.

Is Fee Protection Insurance worth it for small businesses?

Yes. Even a simple HMRC enquiry can cost far more in accountant fees than the price of the insurance itself. For most small businesses, it’s an affordable way to avoid unexpected expenses.

Can I still use my own accountant during an enquiry?

Absolutely. The insurance allows us to represent you throughout the investigation, ensuring you have the same trusted advisor managing your case — with the fees covered by your policy.
