Tax Evasion

Tax Evasion is the act of fraudulently avoiding paying taxes, either by not paying any tax, paying too little tax, or making false claims for tax refunds. This type of tax fraud involves various taxes such as Income Tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), and Excise Duty on imported or smuggled goods. The fraudulent behaviour can include manipulating records, documents, and participating in complex schemes with multiple defendants.

Our team has extensive experience in handling Tax Evasion cases and can provide assistance and advice for various situations, such as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) investigations, tax tribunals, offshore tax issues, Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs), Code of Practice 8 notices, and Code of Practice 9 notices.

UWOs are orders that allow the prosecuting authority to require an individual to disclose the extent of their interest in any property worth more than £100,000. To be served with a UWO, the individual must be a politically exposed person (PEP) or have connections with serious crime. If you suspect that you are under investigation or have been served with a UWO, our team can guide and assist you throughout the process.

HMRC may focus on particular industries or types of business to investigate tax evasion. Our team works closely with clients to provide advice and assistance with file preparation and employee interviews. Contact us for a free initial consultation to receive expert legal advice from the beginning.
