Level of risk Invest Co 1 Limited and its subsidiaries are prepared to accept.
The increasing complexity and requirements of the UK tax legislation means that inevitably risks will arise. We ensure that where risks do arise, they are identified, evaluated and managed proactively. For certain transactions where there is a material level of uncertainty or complexity, we will seek external advice to help reduce risk. Invest Co 1 Limited does not engage in artificial tax arrangements.
Relationship with HMRC
It is Invest Co 1 Limited’s policy to be transparent and proactive in all interactions with HMRC through regular meetings and communication and are committed to prompt disclosure and transparency in all tax matters with HMRC. It is recognised that there will be areas of differing legal interpretations between ourselves and HMRC and where this occurs we will engage in proactive discussion to bring matters to as rapid a conclusion as possible. Any inadvertent errors in submission of tax returns and tax computations to HMRC are fully disclosed as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been identified.
