Tax-return review and correction — Tax adviser — Professionals
Providers should establish the original facts and submission history before changing anything. Qualify the discrepancy, evidence, periods and authority communications, then separate review, correction preparation and any ongoing enquiry work.
Service scope
Examination of an existing tax submission or reporting record to identify possible errors and scope an appropriate correction. The original filing, supporting evidence and relevant period must be retained; correction is not the same as rewriting history without an audit trail.
What is normally included
- Reviewing an existing return
- Reconciling discrepancies with evidence
- Preparing an authorised correction where applicable
What is not included
- Concealing earlier errors
- Guaranteed acceptance of amendments
- Altering source records to obtain a preferred result
Qualification checks
- Obtain original filing securely
- Verify evidence supporting the concern
- Identify affected periods
- Check current procedural options
- Agree approval and submission responsibility
Quote guidance
Scope the review before committing to a correction fee if the issue is uncertain. Identify additional periods, record reconstruction and authority correspondence separately rather than promising a quick amendment regardless of complexity.
Lead risks
- Original records may be incomplete
- One correction can affect related filings
- The client may expect historic evidence to be rewritten
