Working in conjunction with Armstrong Media, Vantage Fee Protect clients get complimentary access to the ‘HMRC Enquiries Investigations & Powers Publication’. This bi-monthly e-magazine provides articles and insight into all aspects of HMRC’s powers, including commentary on HMRC’s approach to enquiry work, and useful guidance on how best to handle enquiries. With content provided by experts across the field, including Managing Editor Mark Laughlin (a high profile tax expert and author), this publication provides something for everyone at all levels of technical knowledge and experience.
Vantage Fee Protect clients have access to our technical hub and will receive regular e-mail bulletins and electronic newsletters providing topical tax articles and unique insights into HMRC’s tactics and approach to enquiries.
The Vantage Fee Protection Insurance Policy covers numerous elements not covered by our previous provider. This means we have increased opportunity for greater fee recovery and less write off. We find their technical advice lines are answered quickly and the staff are highly capable. As a further benefit we like their online employment law portal. With over 400 current documents all backed up with a free and unlimited advice line. On the mailing side our clients receive a prepaid envelope. They can either pay Vantage direct, by cheque or join via a unique online sales portal reducing our administration considerably. We have always found the Vantage team to be helpful, friendly and professional.
