Tax Audit
An official examination by the tax authority of a business's tax returns and records.
Tax audits can be random or triggered by red flags (unusual deductions, large refunds, etc.). Being well-organised with clear records makes audits much less stressful and expensive.
It's the taxman knocking on the door and asking to check all your homework in detail.
Real world: HMRC selects a company for a VAT or corporation tax audit. They review invoices, expenses, and transfer pricing. The business must provide evidence for every claim.
💡 A tax audit is never fun, but good record-keeping makes it far less painful.
