Tax Investigations 

A Law Firm For Life

Tax Investigations

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are infamous for their draconian investigatory powers. They can interrogate you, demand documents and information - plus 'search and seize' as they see fit. So if Government tax inspectors are probing alleged irregularities in your finances, Irwin Mitchell can assist you as an individual or in a corporate context. We can help you understand your rights, unravel complex law and gather necessary evidence and witnesses for your defence.

For an initial discussion, with no obligation, call Maurice Martin on 0207 421 3883 or 0870 1500 100.

Experts In HM Revenue & Customs Matters

We will do all that we can to avoid any HMRC matter going to Court - and we often work with major accountancy firms to minimise our clients' risk of prosecution and the amount of tax payable.

If the matter does go to court, we will help you prepare for the proceedings in the Magistrates' or Crown Court and we will instruct excellent advocates and forensic experts to assist with your case analysis and presentation.

Our team of highly skilled lawyers has defended many individuals who have been embroiled in HMRC prosecutions, including many high-profile multi-million pound prosecutions for tax and customs & excise evasion and VAT frauds. We have specialist experience of:

  • Negotiating settlement agreements
  • Representing clients at tax tribunals
  • Dealing with Special Compliance Office investigations.

We act for individuals and companies under investigation for or affected by tax investigations or tax evasion on a privately paying basis.  We will keep you regularly informed of the costs to date, and will provide estimates for each stage of work we plan to undertake.

In certain circumstances, for individuals who may not be able to afford their own legal expenses, we may be able to advise you under a legal aid scheme if it is available.  Please call us to discuss the funding options available to you.
