    HMRC Enquiry & Investigation Support

    The Value of Expert Defense An HMRC inquiry into IR35, VAT, CIS, or payroll isn't just a hurdle—it’s a high-stakes threat to your agency’s financial health and reputation. Under the pressure of strict deadlines, many businesses struggle to produce the necessary evidence. Sentrya Payroll acts as your professional buffer, combining deep financial expertise with an insider’s understanding of the recruitment industry to manage the process from start to finish.

    Our Defense Framework

    01
    Strategic Audit Readiness

    The best defense is proactive. We conduct thorough "stress-test" audits of your records, IR35 files, and contracts to ensure they are HMRC-ready before a letter ever arrives. We help you maintain "compliance snapshots"—digital archives of your SDS history, KIDs, and payroll runs for instant retrieval.

    02
    Professional Representation

    If HMRC initiates contact, we take the lead. We manage all correspondence, coordinate documentation requests, and act as your official representative in meetings. Our goal is to present a cohesive, evidence-backed case that validates your status determinations and payroll accuracy.

    03
    Forensic Data Analysis

    Inquiries often require granular detail. We meticulously gather and reconcile every relevant timesheet, contract, and payroll report. We analyze HMRC’s queries line-by-line, providing technical responses that address their concerns while protecting your commercial interests.

    04
    Advocacy & Conflict Resolution

    If HMRC proposes adjustments, we don’t just accept them—we challenge them. By arguing points of law and demonstrating contractor autonomy or operational reality, we work to minimize your liabilities. Where necessary, we negotiate settlements and payment terms to protect your cash flow.
