The MDU has joined forces with Taxwise, one of the UK's leading providers of advice on tax and VAT, to give members the opportunity to consult a team of professionals with many years of experience within both HM Revenue and Customs and accountancy practice. The Taxwise telephone helpline is available in office hours until 30 June 2010, when the deadline to declare undisclosed tax liabilities under the HMRC's Tax Health Plan expires.
Dr Michael Devlin, deputy head of advisory services at the MDU, said:
"We know that HMRC is now carrying out targeted investigations aimed at medical and dental professionals who they believe have not made a full declaration. We anticipate that this will be a concern for doctors, even if they have nothing to declare, and they may need to seek advice on how to respond to an approach from an HMRC inspector. At the same time, those who have already notified HMRC that they plan to make a declaration may need advice about how to do this. We are delighted to be able to offer this service through our partners at Taxwise and expect it will be invaluable during the coming months."
MDU members who wish to use the service should call Taxwise on 01455 852 589 and quote the reference TXMDU1, as well as their MDU membership number. The helpline is open between 9.00am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday.
