Survive a Revenue & Customs
Investigation

Each investigation has its roots in information, returns and accounts submitted to the tax office. Targets have been set and the Inspector will be looking for the softest, most lucrative available, and make no mistake you are a target.

Individual inspectors are judged by results, not by any elegantly conducted near misses, so pressure to succeed is strong, nothing speaks louder than results, and an inspector who fails to produce the goods will not advance.
Your Inspector will be looking for an early breakthrough; they will also wish to ensure that you're sufficiently cash or asset rich to fund a settlement.
They will be thinking in terms of monetary payment for these statistics.

Since the merger of the old Revenue & Customs departments the new HMRC have adopted a more aggressive approach, arguing for higher penalty loadings in all cases.

A prosecution team (RCPO) will now pursue all HMRC prosecutions. These cases are worked under the PCE Act 1984, and will always ask for a confiscation order, the Courts are obliged to issue an order in all but the most exceptional circumstances.

Risk Intelligence and analysis teams (RIATS) are generating a seam of cases for Inspectors from a central catalogue of risk-profiling projects.

The firm's analysts and accountants will scrutinize the raw data, separate the relevant from the irrelevant expose errors and advise the firms Revenue negotiators, experts on strategy, presentation and the disclosure of documents, the combined efforts of a highly experienced team, through the alignment of strategies will bring the case to closure.

The firm is highly professional, and can work under time pressures with attention to detail, which investigation work demands.
