The HMRC business records checks were introduced to identify businesses with poorly kept records. These checks have increased by 60% its highest level since 2011. According to a Spokesman for HM Revenue and customs they were “designed to help our small and medium sized business customers to keep better records leading to more accurate tax returns.”
Businesses with poorly kept records can face up to £3000 fines in advance of any unpaid tax or interest penalties. After the investigations, 73% of the companies reviewed were found to have no significant errors. This is a 15% increase on the previous tax year which highlights the success of the improvements after the scheme was reviewed in 2012.
