IRIS + HMRC Investigation: Complete Workflow
Preparing for hmrc investigation and using IRIS? HMRC investigations can request years of bank statements. Converting these to analysable data is critical for responding quickly and accurately. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and IRIS's import feature.
BankScan AI → IRIS for HMRC Investigation
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for IRIS import. Batch-convert multiple years of bank statements to structured spreadsheets for HMRC enquiry responses, voluntary disclosures, and tax investigation defence.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload Typically 3-6 years, but HMRC can request up to 20 years in cases of deliberate fraud or failure to notify of statements.
AI formats for IRIS
