HMRC Tax Investigation Solicitors

What does a tax solicitor do? Here are some of the key roles and responsibilities of a tax solicitor:

• Legal Advice: Tax solicitors provide legal advice to clients on various tax matters, including compliance with tax laws, tax planning, and tax dispute resolution.
• Representation: Representing clients during tax investigations, audits, and negotiations with HMRC, tax investigation solicitors ensure that clients’ rights are protected and that they receive fair treatment throughout the process.
• Tax Planning: Tax investigation solicitors help clients develop tax-efficient strategies to minimise their tax liabilities while staying within the boundaries of tax laws.
• Penalty Dispute Resolution: In cases where clients have been penalised for tax fraud or evasion, tax investigation solicitors work to negotiate reduced penalties or challenge the penalties imposed by HMRC.
• Criminal Defence: In cases of serious tax fraud or evasion allegations that could lead to criminal charges, tax solicitors provide a strong legal defence to protect their clients’ interests.
• VAT and Business Tax Matters: Tax investigation solicitors also assist businesses with VAT issues, corporation tax, and other business-related tax matters, ensuring that they comply with tax laws and regulations.

What Are the Chances of a Tax Investigation?

Tax investigations by HMRC can happen to individuals and businesses for various reasons. While the likelihood of being investigated varies, it’s essential to be prepared and have a trusted tax solicitor by your side in case it does occur. Here are some common reasons that may trigger a tax investigation:

• Random Selection: In some cases, HMRC may select individuals or businesses for investigation randomly as part of their compliance checks.
• Inconsistencies in Tax Returns: Discrepancies or inconsistencies in tax returns, whether accidental or deliberate, can attract HMRC’s attention.
• Anonymous Tips: HMRC may receive anonymous tips or information about potential tax fraud or evasion, prompting them to launch an investigation.
• Industry-Specific Risk: Some industries are considered higher risk for tax evasion or fraud, leading to increased scrutiny. For example, businesses involved in cash transactions or international trade may face a higher risk of investigation.
• Significant Changes: If you make significant changes in your financial affairs, such as selling a valuable asset or starting a new business, HMRC may investigate to ensure accurate reporting.
