Fee protection is a type of policy that provides financial protection to individuals and businesses in the event of a tax enquiry by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).It is important to note that fee protection covers the costs of professional representation during a tax enquiry but does not cover any additional taxes or penalties that may be due as a result of the enquiry.

HMRC has the power to investigate individuals and businesses to ensure that they are complying with tax laws and regulations. A tax enquiry can be upsetting, time-consuming and disruptive and can result in fines and penalties if tax irregularities are found. Fee protection can provide coverage for professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with a tax enquiry.
