EM0302 - Determine who can support the enquiry: who can give you support
When you are making an enquiry you must consider whether
- you are the only HMRC officer who has an interest in the case
- specialist support is required to enable you to conduct your enquiry
- recommendations or decisions are required from specialist areas before you determine your enquiry, or
- you must pass responsibility for the enquiry to another business area.
If you are working with other HMRC colleagues you should ensure you set up good communication links at the outset, see EM0305 for more guidance.
For technical policy advice or support with complex cases you can contact Central Policy, Tax Administration Advice, see EM0310.
