Aspire Comment:

It is essential that business fulfil their obligations to HMRC and ensure that all payments are made in line with deadlines set by HMRC. That said, whilst it is important for businesses to make payments and returns on time to avoid accruing points or penalties and interest, it is also important for businesses to understand the appeal options available to them. Aspire can assist you in challenging those penalties via the appeals and review process.
