Why use a tax investigation service?

Before individuals and businesses are selected for a tax investigation, HMRC conduct a rigorous exercise to try to ensure that the information that they are basing their belief that there is something wrong with the tax affairs of the person they intend to investigate.

As such, it should be noted that HMRC rarely raise a tax investigation without believing that there is something wrong and it is highly advisable to speak with a tax investigation expert before responding to any correspondence from HMRC.

Types of HMRC investigations

There are a number of different tax investigations and also a number of different units within HMRC from which enquiries emanate. The most serious sort of tax investigation is one where HMRC are considering prosecution. The first someone will know about this is either a letter to attend a meeting under caution or at worst a dawn raid.

What clients say about our tax investigation services

"Excellent support and guidance"

It gives me great pleasure to write to you and thanks to you and your team for the excellent support and guidance
you gave me over the last year. I consider having made contact with you as the crucial step in solving my "Taxing" problem.

From the time I first had a meeting with you, to the last meeting with the Inland Revenue you were most reassuring.

Your approach to the whole issue was highly professional and honest. Your advice was precise and correct.

MS London

"Speaking to you was like a breath of fresh air"

When I first received a letter from HMRC inviting me to an interview under caution I felt almost suicidal.

I found your details on the internet and speaking to you was like a breath of fresh air.

You explained the situation to me and put me straight in touch with an excellent firm of solicitors specialising in financial crime.

SGC Client

"Offshore Disclosure Facility"

Following a Government announcement that the HMRC would be looking into offshore bank accounts, my family decided to take advantage of their Offshore Disclosure Facility.

I quickly realised that as these disclosures would cover a period of some thirteen years, this would be a complex and potentially expensive process.

MD Client

"Our preferred supplier of tax investigation services"

As a large independent practice we generally deal with day to day investigation work ourselves and only use your services in the more complicated and complex investigations.

Your firm has always offered quality advice on some of the finer nuances of investigation work and this has enabled us to obtain solutions to enquiries we would not have achieved without your input.
