HM Revenue & Customs Enquiries and Investigations
We undertake detailed investigations and have extensive experience of dealing with Special Civil Investigations Office of HM Revenue & Customs, where serious cases of fraud and suspected fraud are handled. Where a tax shortfall is established, the maximum penalty can be as much as 100% of the tax liability. However, we can report that we have always managed to negotiate considerably more favourable final settlements for our clients. You may be able to insure against the risk of professional fees in such instances through RA(FPS)Ltd.
