Penalties of up to 100% of the VAT amount deemed to be evaded can be imposed by HMRC.
Inevitably businesses fall into scenarios where their business becomes involved in a VAT investigation. The business may have done nothing wrong and where only a handful of cases are treated as criminal fraud, the nature of the VAT legislation is such that instances of civil fraud are increasing due to the broad definition civil fraud.
We can provide VAT investigation services, including initial negotiations with HMRC through to court representation.
