If you are self-employed or run a business, you know that HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) has the power to investigate your financial affairs. This can be a very stressful process, even if you have done nothing wrong.
Tax investigation insurance can help to protect you from the financial costs of an investigation. If you are investigated, your insurer will pay for the professional fees of an accountant or lawyer to represent you. They will also cover any additional taxes, interest, or penalties that you may be liable for.
