Code Of Practice 8
This is a very serious tax investigation and it needs to be taken seriously.
We have successfully defended a number of clients who have been subjected to tax investigations into tax avoidance schemes and offshore structures. We are quickly able to understand the technical issues that are the key to the dispute and put forward robust technical arguments to defend our client’s position.
Code Of Practice 9
HMRC considers these cases to be very serious, and as a result the consequences can be highly damaging for the taxpayer. Most accountancy practices have little or no experience in dealing with this type of case. It is therefore very important that you seek specialist advice from a suitably qualified tax investigations practitioner to ensure that matters are dealt with appropriately.
