HMRC Tax Investigations Solicitors
Tax fraud is the deliberate evasion of paying taxes made by individuals, companies and trusts. This illegal activity typically involves taxpayers deliberately being dishonest about tax reporting in order to pay less tax. The evasion of taxes might be carried out in one of several ways, including declaring less income than a person or organisation has actually earned, overstating deductions or declaring less profits or gains.
HMRC will in the majority of cases use the civil investigation procedure and reserves criminal investigations for the most serious cases or where a prosecution is deemed to be required as a deterrent.
There are various circumstances in which HMRC will consider a criminal rather than civil investigation including where:
- there is evidence of VAT, Carousel or MTIC fraud.
- there is use of false or forged documents;
- there are previous convictions of tax evasion or avoidance or previous civil actions;
- there is evidence of suspected money laundering;
- materially false statements or documents are given in a civil investigation;
- it suspects deliberate concealment, deception, conspiracy or corruption;
- a company’s liquidation appears suspicious;
- importation or exportation in breach of prohibitions and restrictions has occurred; or
- a Contractual Disclosure Facility (CDF) is offered but rejected or the information disclosed is incorrect;
Our team of HMRC tax investigations solicitors can advise upon all aspects of HMRC criminal investigations and HMRC prosecutions, and the surrounding issues that may arise from arrests, interviews, as well as settlements, plea deals and powers of seizure and forfeiture under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
