Frequently Asked Questions
What if I receive a penalty notice?
Penalties can be 0-30% of the tax due where the submission is deemed “careless”, between 20-70% for deliberately submitting incorrect information and 30-100% if the claim is deemed to be deliberately incorrect and concealed.
Depending on your circumstances InnoFund can assist in reducing or completely mitigating penalties regardless of what stage you are at within the enquiry.
How long does it take to resolve an enquiry?
Who would deal with my HMRC enquiry at InnoFund?
InnoFund’s compliance team is split between property taxes, including chartered surveyors, construction managers and valuers and innovation incentives, including PhD engineers and sector specific experts. Both teams have finance leads including ex-Big-Four tax consultants and a chartered accountant, compliance leads including ex-HMRC inspectors and tax lawyers and mediation leads accredited by Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). All enquiries at InnoFund are led by Simba Mareverwa due to his unrivalled experience in HMRC disputes and expertise as both a Chartered Accountant and Accredited Mediator.
We appreciate every enquiry is unique and as a part of your defence strategy we will curate a bespoke team to increase your chances of a successful outcome which is dependent on the type of queries raised by the inspector, the current stage of the enquiry and what expertise is needed to resolve the enquiry. For example, we will often bring in external academics and sector specialists for unbiased witness testimony in R&D Tax disputes.
