Tax Investigations

We act quickly and discreetly, reviewing the facts, managing communication with tax authorities, and advising on the most appropriate resolution route – whether a full voluntary disclosure, use of the Worldwide Disclosure Facility, or formal engagement with HMRC or the FTA. We assess exposure, gather evidence and build a tailored strategy.

Many investigations involve historic offshore structures, incorrect tax return filings or challenges over someone’s tax residence status. We are adept at reconstructing timelines, managing data requests and presenting your case to HMRC constructively, thoughtfully and pragmatically. Where litigation or settlement is required, we work closely with leading counsel from early in the process.

We also advise clients who suspect they may come under scrutiny, pre-emptively reviewing structures and disclosures to assess risk. With sanctions tightening and international cooperation increasing, taking proactive advice is no longer optional. Having the right team in your corner – in advance or when the need arises – can be a vital tool in your arsenal.
