Received a letter from Revenue Jersey? Don't ignore it.

Revenue Jersey letters are time-sensitive. Failing to respond within the stated deadline can result in estimated assessments, escalated enforcement action, and compounding interest charges. Contact us immediately — we respond to tax resolution enquiries within 24 hours.

What We Help You Resolve

Tax problems with Revenue Jersey rarely resolve themselves. Every week of delay typically increases the liability through interest, surcharges, and compounding penalties. We act quickly, present your case professionally, and work toward the best achievable outcome.

Back Tax Liability Assessment

We calculate the accurate back tax amount owed, often identifying errors in Revenue Jersey's estimated assessments that reduce the final liability.

Revenue Jersey Correspondence

We respond to all Revenue Jersey letters, queries, and compliance notices on your behalf — ensuring responses are accurate, timely, and professionally presented.

Compliance Investigation Defence

If Revenue Jersey has opened a formal compliance review of your tax affairs, we represent your position throughout the investigation, providing records and responses as required.

Penalty Reduction Applications

Where penalties have been applied, we prepare a formal case for reduction — including reasonable excuse arguments, mitigating circumstances, and co-operation evidence.

Instalment Arrangement Negotiation

We apply to Revenue Jersey for a structured payment plan on your behalf, negotiating terms that are sustainable given your business cash flow.

Voluntary Disclosure Preparation

If you are aware of undeclared income or incorrect returns before Revenue Jersey discovers them, voluntary disclosure is the most effective way to minimise penalties. We prepare complete, accurate disclosures.

GST Investigation Support

GST-specific compliance checks and investigations are handled separately from income tax. We support GST disputes, address incorrectly filed returns, and resolve Approved Trader status issues.

Record Reconstruction

Where records are incomplete or missing, we reconstruct accurate financial records from available bank statements, third-party data, and business documentation to support your case.

Social Security Arrears

If Combined Employer Return obligations have not been met or Social Security contributions are in arrears, we calculate the liability and support resolution with Revenue Jersey.

Ongoing Support During Resolution

Tax disputes are rarely resolved in a single exchange. We manage the entire process from initial contact through to final settlement, keeping you informed at every stage.

The Cost of Delay

Every Week You Wait Makes the Problem Bigger

Revenue Jersey's late payment surcharge is 10% of the outstanding balance — applied automatically from the moment the deadline passes. Interest accrues daily on unpaid amounts. And if the matter escalates to a formal enforcement action, the costs increase significantly.

Voluntary Action

Lowest penalty exposure. Controlled process. Best outcome.

Early Compliance Check

Moderate penalties. Revenue Jersey in control. Manageable.

Formal Investigation

Full penalties. Estimated assessments. Enforcement risk.

How We Approach Tax Resolution

1

Confidential Initial Assessment

You tell us what has happened — missing returns, a Revenue Jersey letter, a compliance query, or a back tax bill. We assess the situation, review any correspondence, and advise on the best course of action. This initial assessment is completely confidential.

2

Reconstruct and Calculate the Accurate Position

Before engaging with Revenue Jersey, we establish the accurate financial position. This often involves reviewing records, reconstructing transactions, and calculating what is genuinely owed — which is frequently less than Revenue Jersey's estimated assessment.

3

Engage with Revenue Jersey Professionally

We respond to Revenue Jersey on your behalf — whether that is providing documents for a compliance review, submitting a voluntary disclosure, applying for a payment arrangement, or contesting an estimated assessment.

4

Resolve and Prevent Recurrence

Once the matter is resolved, we ensure your ongoing compliance is in order so the same issue cannot arise again. Most clients move to our monthly bookkeeping or tax advisory service at this point.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have received a letter from Revenue Jersey — what should I do?

Do not ignore it. Revenue Jersey letters are time-sensitive — failure to respond within the stated deadline can result in escalated action, including estimated assessments. Contact us immediately. We will review the correspondence, advise on the appropriate response, and handle the reply on your behalf if instructed.

Can Revenue Jersey penalties be reduced or waived?

In some circumstances, yes. Revenue Jersey has discretion to reduce penalties where there is a reasonable excuse for late filing or where a voluntary disclosure has been made proactively. The key factors are the reason for the non-compliance, the length of time it went uncorrected, and whether the business co-operated fully with Revenue Jersey once the issue was identified. We prepare the strongest possible case for penalty reduction on your behalf.

What is a Revenue Jersey compliance investigation?

A compliance investigation is a formal review by Revenue Jersey of your tax affairs, usually triggered by a risk assessment or data-matching exercise. The investigation can cover income tax, GST, Social Security, or a combination. During an investigation, Revenue Jersey may request records, bank statements, and correspondence going back several years. Having professional representation throughout this process significantly improves the outcome.

Can I arrange a payment plan for back taxes owed to Revenue Jersey?

Yes. Revenue Jersey does offer instalment arrangements for taxpayers who cannot pay a liability in full immediately. These arrangements must be applied for formally and are subject to Revenue Jersey's approval. We prepare the application, negotiate the terms on your behalf, and ensure the arrangement is structured in a way that is sustainable for your business cash flow.
