HMRC Letter for Gas Engineers: Don't Ignore HMRC

HMRC Targets Gas Engineers

If you've received a letter from HMRC regarding your registration as a gas engineer, it’s crucial to take immediate action to ensure your tax affairs are in order. Here’s what you need to know and how we can support you.


Why You’ve Been Contacted

HMRC has identified you through the HSE register as a gas engineer and believes you might be earning income from this profession. If you are self-employed and have earned more than £1,000 from your trade or other sources, you must register for Self Assessment and report your income.


What should you do

  1. Read the Letter Carefully: Take the time to thoroughly review the HMRC letter. It contains important information about your tax obligations. Ignoring the letter could lead to an HMRC compliance check, which may result in increased tax liabilities, interest, and penalties.

  2. Check Your Income: Review your earnings from your gas engineering work and any other sources. If your total income exceeds £1,000, you need to register for Self Assessment with HMRC.

  3. Respond to HMRC: If you are not currently earning income or are already reporting your income through another method, inform HMRC. This will help clarify your situation and avoid potential misunderstandings.

  4. Seek Professional Advice: If you’re unsure about your tax situation or how to respond to HMRC, it’s crucial to seek professional advice. Our team of tax experts can provide guidance, help you understand your obligations, and assist you in taking the right steps to ensure compliance.

  5. Make a Disclosure (If Required): If you discover that you have unreported income, it’s essential to make a disclosure to HMRC. This can help minimise penalties and demonstrate that you’re taking proactive steps to correct any mistakes. We can assist you in preparing and submitting a disclosure to ensure it meets all HMRC requirements.
