HMRC Investigations and Prosecutions
Expert Legal Support for HMRC Investigations and Tax Matters
If you find yourself under investigation by HMRC concerning unpaid taxes or VAT, it is of paramount importance to seek legal counsel promptly. Early representation and effective communication with HMRC and the CPS can make the difference between avoiding prosecution or minimising penalties.
Our Services:
- Liaising with HMRC: When HMRC suspects irregularities in your tax or VAT returns, they may request you to participate in an interview under caution. Should you receive such an invitation, our team can step in on your behalf. We will arrange a convenient appointment, thoroughly advise you on the evidence against you, and guide you through your options during the interview.
- Ongoing Communication: Following the interview, we maintain regular contact with HMRC to stay informed about the progress of the investigation. If necessary, we will make representations on your behalf, providing evidence to support your case. Additionally, we have the capability to arrange a conference with an experienced barrister to provide further counsel if required.
- Freezing Orders: If you receive a freezing order, we are well-equipped to advise you on the available options, including the possibility of applying for a variation of this order. Our goal is to protect your interests and financial well-being throughout the process.
- Court Representation: In the event that you receive a summons or requisition to attend court, we are prepared to offer advance guidance and provide representation on the designated court date. Our firm’s expertise in handling complex HMRC investigations ensures that you receive comprehensive legal support. We may also engage a forensic accountant, as needed, to assess documentary evidence on your behalf.
