Mandatory Disclosure Rules cover the reporting of tax schemes and arrangements that HM Revenue & Customs may consider aggressive or unclear. A solicitor in this area helps you identify whether a disclosure is required, gathers the necessary records, drafts the information for HMRC, and coordinates the response to any follow‑up questions or investigations. They also advise on deadlines, communications with HMRC, and the potential implications of disclosure for you or your business.
Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor
MDRs require timely, accurate disclosures of certain tax arrangements to HM Revenue & Customs. A solicitor assesses whether the rules apply, collects documentation, drafts the disclosure, and liaises with HMRC on your behalf, ensuring compliant handling of responses and any follow-up requests. They also help navigate penalties, professional obligations, and record-keeping to manage the regulatory process within the legal framework.
