Our services

In recent years HMRC have taken an increasingly strict approach to tackling illegal methods of tax evasion and tax fraud. Certain industries and types of business may become a specific target for HMRC.

Tax fraud typically involves the deliberate and dishonest evasion of tax by individuals, companies or trusts. Tax evasion can be carried out in several ways, including declaring less income than a person or organisation has actually earned, overstating deductions or declaring less profits or gains.

Tax avoidance is using a legitimate means to mitigate, reduce or defer your tax liability. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) should not take issue with anyone who uses a legitimate tax avoidance techniques. However, the position is often uncertain and Janes Solicitors will advise you.

Furthermore, the changes introduced by the Criminal Finances Act 2017 include two new offences of corporate failure to prevent tax evasions; changes to seizure powers; unexplained wealth orders (UWO) and changes to Proceeds of Crime Act. Janes Solicitors will advise you on the implications for you and your business.

If you have concerns about the methods used by you or your business, or are concerned about your tax position or tax fraud you should seek our expert legal advice even before HMRC contact you or your business.

Janes Solicitors will advise you so you know exactly where you stand, and how best to proceed at every stage.
