A question we’re often asked
One of the first questions people ask is whether an HMRC penalty can be reduced or cancelled.
The answer depends on your circumstances, but in some cases it may be possible to appeal a penalty or reduce it if there is a valid reason for the delay.
We’ll explain your options honestly, let you know where you stand and help you decide on the best way forward.
