Media Reviews
HMRC Investigations Handbook 2015/16 Edited by Mark McLaughlin of Mark McLaughlin Associates who is well known to all ICPA Members as he is a regular contributor to Accounting Practice and is the man responsible for the quarterly e-magazine Tax Update . For the purposes of this book Mark has brought together a whole range of writers to contribute on Investigations and it is broken down into 4 sections with Section 1 on Investigations and Enquiries, Section 2 on The Progress of an Enquiry, Section 3 on Practical issues and Section 4 dealing with Vat, Nic and Employment Income. It tries to follow the investigation cycle which helps when you just want to dip and out which at over 700 pages and 26 chapters is how most of us will use this book. To my mind every practice should have a copy of this book as HMRC ramp up the enquiries as they seek to close a tax gap that they themselves calculate and which blames 40%+ as being down to SME's so it's our clients they are looking at to increase their coffers. It is a detailed yet surprising easy to read book covering a huge range of issues and I can't recommend highly enough. -- Tony Margaritelli Accounting Practice Magazine
