HMRC’s aim is to secure the highest level of compliance with the law and regulations governing direct and indirect taxes and other regimes for which they are responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n It is HMRC’s policy to deal with fraud by use of the cost effective civil fraud investigation procedures, wherever appropriate. Criminal Investigation will be reserved for cases where HMRC needs to send a strong deterrent message or where the conduct involved is such that only a criminal sanction is appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n Examples of the kind of circumstances in which HMRC will generally consider commencing a criminal, rather than civil investigation are:<\/span><\/p>\n In cases of organised criminal gangs attacking the tax system or systematic frauds where losses represents a serious threat to the tax base, including conspiracy<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where an individual holds a position of trust or responsibility<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where materially false statements are made or materially false documents are provided in the course of a civil investigation<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where, pursuing an avoidance scheme, reliance is placed on a false or altered document or such \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0reliance or material facts are misrepresented to enhance the credibility of a scheme<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where deliberate concealment, deception, conspiracy or corruption is suspected<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n In cases involving the use of false or forged documents<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n In cases involving importation or exportation breaching prohibitions and restrictions<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n In cases involving money laundering with particular focus on advisors, accountants, solicitors and others acting in a ‘professional’ capacity who provide the means to put tainted money out of reach of law enforcement<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where the perpetrator has committed previous offences \/ there is a repeated course of unlawful conduct or previous civil action<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n In cases involving theft, or the misuse or un lawful destruction of HMRC documents<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where there is evidence of assault on, threats to, or the impersonation of HMRC officials<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where there is a link to suspected wider criminality, whether domestic or international, involving offences not under the administration of HMRC<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Dehshid & Co policy is that enquiries will be dealt with promptly and effectively to ensure unnecessary costs are avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n H<\/span>M Revenue & Customs is happy to deal with us in respect of most aspects of an enquiry and our experience and professional approach will help settle any enquiry as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1430749132901{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}” has_content=”true”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1669″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text] HMRC’s aim is to secure the highest level of compliance with the law and regulations governing direct and indirect taxes and other regimes for which they are responsible.
