Frequently asked questions…

What happens if I get a VAT investigation?

It is essential to keep VAT records in case an HMRC VAT investigation occurs. 

HMRC will write to you requesting details of specific transactions and any queries they have regarding your return.

If you choose to use GLX for your VAT return services, you also have the option to undertake separate Tax Investigation Insurance which will allow us to manage this process for you and take any hassle away and deal with the investigation on your behalf.

How do I get started with GLX?

How do I go about switching accountants?
