VAT supply chain fraud occurs when fraudulent traders manipulate VAT through complex transactions, leaving innocent businesses exposed to HMRC action. We help businesses identify risks, respond to HMRC enquiries, and implement robust due diligence to protect against VAT fraud exposure.
HMRC issues tax loss letters when it believes a business has benefited from fraudulent supply chains or irregular transactions. We assess the HMRC position, prepare detailed representations, and help mitigate financial and reputational exposure.
Under the Kittel Principle, HMRC can deny VAT recovery if a business “knew or should have known” of fraud in its supply chain. We advise on compliance, due diligence, and defence strategies to challenge HMRC assessments based on the Kittel Principle.
KYC procedures verify client identity and legitimacy to prevent tax evasion, fraud, and financial crime. We help implement effective KYC frameworks, ensuring your business meets compliance obligations and maintains regulatory integrity.
HMRC may delay or refuse VAT repayments if they suspect inaccuracies or non-compliance, impacting business cash flow. Our team manage HMRC communications, resolve disputes, and ensure your VAT repayment claims are fully supported and processed efficiently.
A statutory demand is a formal notice requiring payment of a debt, often the first step toward winding-up or bankruptcy proceedings. We review and respond to statutory demands, dispute invalid claims, and help negotiate settlements to avoid escalation.
A winding-up petition is a serious legal step by creditors, including HMRC, seeking to liquidate a company over unpaid debts. We act swiftly to negotiate with HMRC, challenge petitions where possible, and explore recovery options to protect your business.
Liquidation is the process of closing a company and distributing assets to creditors when debts cannot be repaid. We provide independent advice on voluntary and compulsory liquidation, ensuring directors meet their duties and achieve the best possible outcome.
Bankruptcy is a legal process for individuals unable to meet their debts, affecting assets, income, and credit status. We guide individuals through bankruptcy proceedings, explore alternatives such as IVAs, and assist in rebuilding financial stability.
A Time to Pay arrangement allows taxpayers to settle debts with HMRC through manageable instalments, avoiding enforcement action. We negotiate directly with HMRC to secure realistic payment plans, protect cash flow, and maintain compliance.
An Account Freezing Order is a court order that stops you from accessing money in a bank or building society account because law enforcement suspects the funds are connected to crime or unlawful activity. These are civil orders that can be issued even without criminal charges and are often a preliminary step in investigations. We can support an individual/business that has been subject to an AFO to dispute and re-secure your accounts.
When HMRC issue an assessment, they attach a statement of liabilities which states the exact breakdown of the debt due including penalties and interest on which tax these are due. We can carefully, forensically review and analyse these statements to check and correct the amount of debt due.
