HMRC's various compliance arms are now back up to speed and functioning as normal. All existing tax investigations and disclosures will be progressed with increased veracity. Given the impending financial crisis that the country now faces; we will inevitably see an intensification of HMRC compliance and investigation activity.
This will result in a more aggressive and punitive approach to all new tax investigations. There has never been a better time to come forward and make a full voluntary disclosure, thus removing the risk of criminal prosecution or heavier financial penalties. If you have any concerns regarding your tax affairs; Admiral Tax is here & open to help.

My entire professional career has been within taxes. I started as a fresh-faced 18 year old Inland Revenue Assistant in 1988. After a decade at HMRC, I left as a senior Tax Inspector. I set up Admiral Tax to use my experience and knowledge to help people faced with Tax Investigations. A professional speaker at events, most recently at the Federation of Tax Advisors and The Institute of Financial Advisors.
A VAT fraud investigation by HMRC is invariably an extremely stressful and unpleasant experience. Whether it is a VAT investigation launched by a Local Compliance Office or a full-blown VAT investigation launched by HMRC's Serious Fraud Team, the impact on both business and family life cannot be underestimated.
Informed advice at an early stage is often crucial. Admiral Tax consultancy advice to tax professionals is an independent specialist tax investigation service. We can work with you either in front of clients or behind the scenes and provide you with value-driven specialist tax advice. We offer the opportunity of fixed fees and one to one guidance from an experienced, highly qualified tax adviser.
If HMRC suspect that you have committed serious tax fraud; they will normally make contact with you in writing. These cases are all conducted by HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service and will be headed Investigation of Suspected Tax Fraud. HMRC will open by telling you that they suspect you have committed tax fraud; enclosing a copy of Code of Practice 9.
Below we explain the key information you need regarding the Contractual Disclosure Facility (CDF); let us begin by looking at the changes in HMRC's approach towards the investigation of suspected tax fraud. A change that gave rise to to a different type under the terms of the CDF and Code of Practice 9 (COP 9).

Voluntary disclosure and capital gains tax
A couple of months ago I picked up the phone and called Dominic on a Friday evening, worried and scared regarding my voluntary disclosure and capital gains tax.
Dominic was a godsend to me, he listened, advised and reassured me over and over again.
I was in floods of tears that evening scared not knowing what was going to be the outcome and Dominic reassured me, that this matter would get sorted and he would help. He even sent me a message that very same evening confirming we would speak in the morning (a Saturday morning) and to stop worrying. His

Dominic is a true professional. Before I talked to him I was very concerned about my position regarding unpaid tax on overseas interest.
He put my mind at rest and took complete control before submitting my voluntary disclosure to HMRC. The outcome was much better than I could have hoped and I am very happy.
I will miss his regular updates and positive attitude.

This is the second time I have used the services of Admiral Tax in recent years. Again, another fantastic resolution. I was being pursued unfairly by HMRC for PAYE liabilities approaching £10,000. The problem arose after my former employer made a complete mess of reporting my correct pay to HMRC. I was getting absolutely no where for months; until Dominic intervened on my behalf. The matter is now closed; with the incorrect debt being discharged from HMRC systems. Admiral are a great company; very professional and with a personal touch. Thank you Dominic. Great service.

After a whirlwind 12 months; I have finally found peace and a financial future thanks to Dom at Admiral Tax. I felt as though I was getting no where with HMRC and was fearing for my home. Dom fought my case passionately and finally managed to get HMRC to listen. The best and friendliest service I have received form any company in any industry.

Admiral Tax intervened during an HMRC tax investigation into my partners self assessment. We were facing a very difficult and worrying financial situation after HMRC disallowed virtually all of my partners business expenses. Dominic was able to negotiate a much fairer settlement and managed to ensure that no penalty action was taken. I was very unsure about putting my trust in someone I had just found online as we had a bad experience in the past, but I couldn't of been more wrong Dom has helped put my trust back. Highly recommended. Thank you!!

I appointed Admiral Tax to deal with an HMRC investigation into my small business. After a stressful few months; the matter is now closed with no tax adjustment. Naturally I was worried throughout the process. Dominic reassured me at all stages and everything he predicted has now come to pass. I would definitely recommend.
