Tax and VAT fraud
Investigated by HMRC, tax fraud includes tax evasion, missing trader and carousel fraud? If HMRC has any reason to believe you have deliberately taken steps to avoid paying the right amount of tax, a thorough investigation will be launched. We can help you throughout the investigation process and make sure that your best interests are being represented. Tax fraud can result in very large fines and, in some cases, even a prison sentence so it is vital you receive expert legal advice.
Benefit Fraud

If you are found guilty, you could be fined, face having your assets and money seized and you may even end up receiving a custodial sentence. Our specialist benefit fraud experts will look at your case in detail and make sure you are properly represented in any legal proceedings.

However, if your lawyer is able to convince the court you only took what you believed you were entitled to, you will be found not guilty. Our expert advice and guidance can help you through this difficult time and give you the best chance of securing a favourable verdict.
