Hounded by HMRC: How We Helped One Client Resolve a Costly Mistake

Business Woman

When Sarah’s Labrador, Daisy, had her first litter, she never imagined it would land her in trouble with HMRC. What started as a one-time thing quickly became a small side venture—friends, family, and word-of-mouth recommendations led to more litters, and before she knew it, Sarah had sold multiple puppies over a couple of years.

It wasn’t a business, she thought. It was just her pet having puppies.
Then the letter arrived.

A nudge letter from HMRC, stating that they suspected she had undeclared income from breeding dogs. The figures they were quoting were astronomical—far more than she had actually earned. Panic set in. She had no records, no receipts, and no idea how to respond. Worse, the letter warned of potential penalties and interest on top of the unpaid tax.

Sarah turned to Google, desperately searching for an accountant who could help. That’s when she found us—167 glowing reviews later, she felt reassured enough to reach out.

From the moment she got in touch, we took the weight off her shoulders. We worked through the numbers, explaining that while she did need to declare the income, HMRC’s estimates were way off. With the right approach, we could correct their figures, reduce penalties, and negotiate a manageable payment plan.

And that’s exactly what we did.

By the time we were finished, Sarah owed far less than she had feared. The stress, sleepless nights, and uncertainty were over. She could finally breathe again.
