Tax investigations by HM Revenue & Customs
We have long been known for expert handling of direct and indirect tax investigations and all manner of Customs infractions.
Our team of expert lawyers has made a speciality of solving tax and Customs problems. Our accumulated hands on experience is vitally important in addressing the vast array of enforcement powers available to tax agencies.
Wherever possible we encourage the non-contentious resolution of investigations by HM Revenue & Customs who have unique powers of non-forensic compromise. In these and other initiatives our clients are greatly assisted by our excellent working relationship built up over decades with the tax authorities.
Our work has included inquiries into the importation and offering for sale of endangered species' skins/furs. This is a developing area of law, with new CITEs regulations passed in the UK.
We deal with the different aspects of MTIC (missing trader intra-community) fraud cases, both in connection with the recovery of VAT blocked by HM Revenue & Customs in civil and criminal proceedings.
