Civil Investigation of Fraud
If you receive a letter from the Civil Investigation of Fraud Unit or from the Special Civil Investigations section of HMRC then it means that they believe that you have committed a significant tax fraud or tax investigation. The letter sent to you will usually have leaflet Code of Practice 9 (Civil Investigation into cases of suspected serious fraud). The issue of this leaflet relating to the civil investigation of fraud means that HMRC believe that you owe a minimum of £75,000 or tax (if not much more) which has occurred due to a tax fraud or tax evasion.

Tax Amnesty: New Disclosure Opportunity
In the Chancellor’s budget in March 2009 it was announced that there would be a further tax amnesty (officially called the New Disclosure Opportunity). At the time of writing no further details about the potential tax amnesty have been released. It is expected that the new tax amnesty will probably be similar to the tax amnesty undertaken in 2007 but with a higher penalty. Further information about the New Disclosure Opportunity (tax amnesty) can be found as it becomes publically available by clicking on our tax amnesty link which will take you to our tax amnesty page. You can also follow our tax amnesty articles page link to find details of articles written in the past relating to the last tax amnesty and any new articles or information on the latest tax amnesty (New Disclosure Opportunity).
