HMRC Nudge Letters Explained: What They Really Mean & What To Do

Описание: Received an HMRC nudge letter?

Here’s what it really means and what you should do next. Most people misunderstand HMRC nudge letters. They assume it’s either “nothing to worry about” or the start of a full HMRC investigation.

Both assumptions are wrong.

In this video, I explain:
•⁠ ⁠What HMRC nudge letters actually are
•⁠ ⁠Why you’re seeing more of them now
•⁠ ⁠How HMRC decides who receives one
•⁠ ⁠And how your response determines whether this ends quietly or escalates into a formal compliance check

I also walk you through:
•⁠ ⁠Where HMRC’s confidence comes from before sending a nudge letter
•⁠ ⁠The risk classification process most people miss
•⁠ ⁠The common mistakes that create scope creep and wider enquiries
•⁠ ⁠How voluntary disclosure fits in — and when it helps vs when it makes things worse
