Inland Revenue Investigation Services

The Inland Revenue investigates approximately 70,000 tax payers per year and in a very high percentage of cases achieve large settlements which include tax, interest and penalties.

Revenue Prosecution for tax fraud are now more common than in previous years and the courts can and will impose custodial sentences as well as large fines.
Cases of suspected serious fraud are dealt with by the Revenue Special Compliance Office (SCO) based in Edinburgh and Nottingham.

SCO regard serious fraud as being one or more of the following:

• Profits under declared exceed £100K.
• Documents have been forged.
• There has been conspiracy to defraud.
• A certificate of disclosure is found to be false.
• A sub contractor certificate has been misused.
• An accountant, solicitor or tax commissioner is suspected of acting dishonestly.

Any Inland Revenue investigation is extremely stressful doubly so if the SCO are involved. Investigations are about money - your money. In order to best perhaps your wealth and preserve your liberty you must ensure that you are professionally represented to the higest level.
