What Is An HMRC Notice Of Enforcement?

Understanding the enforcement process and your immediate options when HMRC escalates debt recovery action.

What It Means

An HMRC Notice of Enforcement is a formal legal document that authorizes HMRC enforcement officers to enter your business premises and seize assets to recover unpaid tax debts.

This notice represents the final stage before physical asset recovery begins, typically following unsuccessful attempts to collect debts through standard recovery procedures.

Time Sensitivity

Once issued, enforcement officers can visit your premises with as little as 7 days' notice. Immediate action is essential.

HMRC's Powers

Enter business premises during working hours
Seize and remove business assets and equipment
Access company bank accounts and freeze funds
Take control of goods until debt is settled
Arrange asset auctions to recover debts
