Tax Fraud Solicitors

Enlisting the right help is intrinsic. Tax fraud is a highly complex area of law with the potential for significant consequences upon conviction. Our tax fraud solicitors have a wealth of knowledge and experience in defending accused individuals. From initial consultation right the way through to conclusion we will keep you abreast of every happening whilst advising accordingly. In addition to dealing successfully with tax fraud cases, we have experience in mortgage, online, benefit and credit card fraud.

Tax fraud involves the theft of taxes due to HMRC, tax credits paid out by HMRC and direct tax evasion. The latter occurs when an individual or company avoids their tax liabilities deliberately by failing to declare income or falsifying expenses. Tax fraud also includes the smuggling of goods liable to excise duty, customs duty or VAT. Tax theft occurs when an individual claims amounts that are not due. As professional tax fraud solicitors, we have the knowledge and insight to fully research a case whilst advising clients accordingly.

Another example of tax fraud is when VAT is charged on a product yet the tax is not paid to the government, instead, stolen by a fraudster. This is known as Missing Trader Intra-Community Fraud (MTIC), or carousel fraud.

Any allegations of fraud can cause serious reputational damage with prosecutions leading to heavy fines and/or custodial sentences of up to 14 years imprisonment. Should you be facing allegations and require a tax fraud solicitor, please get in contact today.

I would 100% recommend this practice. Andrew was fantastic, very efficient, full of good advice and fully represented my interests. Whenever I contacted the office the staff were very accommodating and professional. I will soon be going back to have a new will made and consider them now to be “my” solicitors. I am also grateful to the estate agent that pointed me in this direction.

Absolutely outstanding performance! If you are buying or selling a house, you need Watson and Woodhouse to do the conveyancing for you. Alisha Stevenson acted on my behalf for the purchase of my home and she completed the work in five weeks! Every other solicitor I approached said it would take twelve to sixteen weeks!
