VIGIL scans your business daily against a 14-type HMRC enforcement taxonomy — closure notices, R&D enquiries, IR35 determinations, VAT and PAYE reviews and more — and flags likely risk with urgency, response window, and estimated exposure attached, before HMRC ever writes.
VIGIL doesn't produce a generic risk score — it classifies against the real taxonomy HMRC uses and orders the output most-critical first.
Filing history, sector, and structure are read against the patterns that typically precede each of the 14 notice types.
Profile readEach likely risk is classified by notice type and urgency, with a duplicate check against risks already flagged.
Taxonomy classificationEvery flagged risk carries an estimated response window in days and an estimated financial exposure, ordered most-critical first.
Window & exposureR&D enquiries and IR35 determinations are two of HMRC's highest-volume enforcement categories — VIGIL watches both continuously.
