HMRC may check your records (this can often be done by submitting an audit file by email to avoid a home visit compliance check) to make sure you paid the right amount of tax.
- If you do not keep full records, HMRC may estimate what you have to pay and charge you a penalty of up to £3,000.
- We can store your payroll after you cease being an employer. Select options when you cease employment.
- You can also purchase additional secure storage to include production of an audit file.
