Tax Investigations

We can assist in the following matters:

• HMRC enquiries
• Code of Practice 9 investigations (the Contractual Disclosure Facility (CDF), where HMRC suspects tax fraud)
• Code of Practice 8 investigations (avoidance)
• Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility, and crown dependency disclosure facilities
• Other disclosure facilities

• Other HMRC disputes and investigations
• Alternative Dispute Resolution
• Criminal investigations and prosecutions

HMRC are becoming more sophisticated in the use of data to assist their risk-profiling of taxpayers. That means there is a greater chance that HMRC will identify those taxpayers who have not paid the correct amount of tax. The level of penalties for making a mistake with your tax affairs can be severe. That makes an early assessment of your position essential.

Our tax investigations specialists have experience helping a wide range of clients, across all business sectors, including:

• Individuals (including company directors)
• SMEs
• Corporates
• Offshore Trust Companies
• Professional advisers requiring specialist advice for their clients.

If you have a tax problem – whether HMRC know about it or not – we can help. If you are a professional adviser, we can work with you to regularise your client’s tax affairs.

Our multi-disciplinary team comprises lawyers, accountants and investigation specialists. We can provide a complete case-handling service, or provide advice on particular aspects of an investigation. We can work with your existing adviser, to achieve a satisfactory outcome to your situation. With ex-HMRC experience, we can provide a unique insight into the options available, as well as determining what action HMRC is likely to take.

Please contact us for a free and confidential initial consultation to discuss your situation.
