What Is a Tax Disclosure to HMRC?
Correcting undeclared income, gains or tax errors
A tax disclosure is the process of telling HMRC about income, gains, VAT, tax return errors or earlier-year omissions that have not been reported correctly. This may involve rental income, self-employed income, second income, foreign income, offshore bank interest, foreign property income, Capital Gains Tax, company income, director issues, VAT errors or other undeclared tax.
Why the explanation matters
The disclosure should explain what happened, calculate the unpaid tax, include statutory interest, consider penalties and provide the supporting figures. HMRC may ask questions after the disclosure, so the calculation and explanation need to be clear and defensible from the start.

Voluntary disclosure • Prompted disclosure • HMRC nudge letter
Disclose Before HMRC Finds the Issue First
Unprompted and prompted disclosures
A disclosure made before HMRC contacts you is usually treated differently from one made after HMRC has already prompted you. If HMRC has already written to you, the matter may be treated as prompted, which can affect penalty mitigation.
When HMRC has already written
If you have received an HMRC nudge letter, compliance check letter or information request, you should not ignore it. The disclosure may still be possible, but the strategy, penalty explanation and response to HMRC need to be handled carefully.
HMRC disclosure routes and deadlines
Choosing the Right HMRC Disclosure Route
Digital, property and offshore routes
HMRC has different routes depending on the tax issue. The Digital Disclosure Service can be used to tell HMRC about income or gains that were not declared from previous tax years. If the disclosure involves offshore income, assets or gains, the Worldwide Disclosure Facility may be relevant.
Why the route matters
Landlords with undisclosed residential property income may use the Let Property Campaign. The correct route matters because the route, timing, tax years and behaviour explanation can affect how HMRC reviews the disclosure.
Important tax disclosure points
Use the correct HMRC disclosure route for rental income, offshore income, gains, VAT or other errors.
The number of years to disclose depends on the facts, behaviour and type of tax involved.
Let Property Campaign disclosures generally need to be made within 90 days of acknowledgement.
Penalties can depend on behaviour, whether disclosure is prompted and the quality of disclosure.

Why Use a Specialist Tax Accountant for Tax Disclosure?
Disclosure is more than a calculation
A tax disclosure is not just a calculation. HMRC needs to understand what went wrong, how the figures have been calculated, which years are affected, what behaviour category applies, whether the disclosure is prompted, and how tax, interest and penalties have been worked out.
Defensible figures and explanation
A weak or incomplete disclosure can lead to further questions, higher penalties or a compliance check. Therefore, the figures and explanation should be prepared carefully before anything is submitted.
We help you avoid common disclosure mistakes
- Using the wrong HMRC disclosure route
- Disclosing too few tax years
- Ignoring interest and penalty calculations
- Claiming expenses without evidence
- Failing to explain behaviour and disclosure quality
- Sending figures that cannot be defended if HMRC asks questions

Common questions
Tax Disclosure Leeds FAQs
What is a voluntary tax disclosure to HMRC?
A voluntary tax disclosure is the process of telling HMRC about unpaid tax, undeclared income, gains or tax return errors before HMRC fully identifies the issue. The disclosure normally includes tax calculations, interest, penalties and an explanation of what happened.
What is the Let Property Campaign?
The Let Property Campaign is an HMRC disclosure route for landlords with undisclosed residential property income from the UK or abroad. After notification, HMRC guidance says landlords normally have 90 days from the acknowledgement to calculate and pay what they owe.
What is the Worldwide Disclosure Facility?
The Worldwide Disclosure Facility is used where the disclosure involves offshore income, assets or gains. This can include overseas bank interest, foreign rental income, foreign dividends, overseas pensions or other undeclared offshore income and gains.
Can I disclose income after HMRC has contacted me?
Yes, but the position is different if HMRC has already contacted you. This may be treated as a prompted disclosure, which can affect penalty mitigation. Therefore, the disclosure still needs to be accurate, complete and carefully explained.
How many years do I need to disclose to HMRC?
The number of years depends on the type of tax, behaviour, whether the issue was careless or deliberate, and whether the matter involves offshore income. We review the facts before deciding which years should be included.
Will HMRC charge penalties on a disclosure?
HMRC may charge penalties depending on the facts. Penalties can be affected by behaviour, whether the disclosure was prompted or unprompted, and the quality of disclosure. As a result, a well-prepared disclosure can help support penalty mitigation.
Can you prepare the disclosure and deal with HMRC?
Yes. We can calculate the tax, interest and penalty exposure, prepare the disclosure, submit it to HMRC where authorised and deal with HMRC follow-up questions through to settlement.
Can I get an instant quote for tax disclosure work?
You can request an initial quote, but tax disclosure work usually needs a review of the tax years, income source, HMRC contact history and records available before a final fee can be confirmed. Consequently, complex disclosures may require staged fees.
