🚨 "I Didn’t Know" Won’t Save You from HMRC! 🚨

Writer: Andrew Fraser Andrew Fraser

HMRC wants your money

Have you ever forgotten to declare income? Maybe you didn’t realise a foreign pension or rental property needed to be reported? Perhaps you thought a “little mistake” on your tax return wouldn’t matter?


Well, HMRC disagrees. And they have zero compassion when it comes to tax errors.

Ignorance is NOT a defence.

"I didn’t know" is NOT an excuse.

HMRC follows the law to the letter – and penalties can be SEVERE.


💀 What’s the risk?If HMRC finds your mistake before you disclose it, you could be facing:

⚠️ Penalties up to 100% of the tax owed (or more for offshore issues!)

⚠️ Fines, interest, and years of back taxes

⚠️ Potential criminal investigation if they think it was deliberate


And here’s the kicker: Even if you genuinely didn’t know, HMRC can still fine you for "carelessness."


There’s only one way to get ahead of this.If you suspect there’s even the slightest chance you’ve underreported income, miscalculated your tax, or forgotten about offshore earnings, you must act before HMRC does.


🚨 The Worldwide Disclosure Facility (WDF) is open for voluntary correction – but don’t expect kindness from HMRC. They’re not here to forgive. They’re here to collect.


The good news? We can help.We’ve successfully guided clients through disclosures, minimising penalties and stopping HMRC in its tracks. But time is not on your side. If HMRC comes knocking first, the penalties skyrocket.

Fix it before HMRC finds you. Because when they do, there will be no mercy.
