Compliance Check
The purpose of a compliance check is to confirm that you have correctly declared and paid the required amount of tax, and are compliant with current regulations.

Many checks are routine, but some may be initiated if HMRC requires additional supporting evidence (for example, a recently submitted tax return with a large tax refund amount).
