HMRC has a wide range of powers to investigate individuals and businesses, including the authority to interview suspects, demand documents and information, and ‘search and seize’.
If you or your company are under investigation or facing an investigation by government tax inspectors you should seek legal advice straightaway. To remove any unnecessary risks and to achieve peace of mind and fast resolutions, it is important you have a lawyer you can trust and rely on.
