What should you do if you or your company are under investigation? Call Shaws immediately. Whatever type of
investigation you are under, if it affects your tax affairs, Shaws have the experience and expertise to help.

The consequences of mishandling an investigation can be serious. Firstly, the penalties which can be imposed are severe. Then the cost to you or your business can be even greater than the direct payments to the Revenue. The disruption may be enormous and may translate into a considerable loss of income, or additional costs, or both.

Whether you are an individual taxpayer, a company or a professional adviser, Shaws investigation specialists can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your case. We can then advise on appropriate tactics and the likely further action to be taken by HM Revenue & Customs or any other government body. We will consider alternative strategies, defend the taxpayer and follow through to the final settlement.

We offer a ‘turnkey’ service in that we can take over the case and deal with all aspects right through to completion.

Shaws understanding, expertise and experience in this field is key to the considerable success we have had on behalf of our clients. The firm’s in-depth and up to date knowledge of tax legislation and how it is applied, combines with specialist knowledge of every area of UK tax law and much of the relevant legislation around the world. Perhaps more important than technical knowledge, is our damage limitation expertise and ability to take control away from HMRC. We have detailed knowledge of HMRC’s techniques and the motivation of tax inspectors/case officers, which enables negotiation of speedy and low cost outcomes, to give you peace of mind as quickly as possible.
Typical cases that we resolve include those that involve:
 
• Special Civil Investigation   Office investigations

• Civil investigation of Fraud   (CIF)

• Criminal investigations

• Complex or contentious local   area enquiries and   investigations

• Employer compliance and   construction industry   investigations

• Voluntary disclosures and   repatriation negotiations

• Non-UK resident/domicile   challenges

• Inheritance tax investigations

• VAT Investigations

• Large business office   contentious issues

• Status enquiries and   contentious PAYE/NIC claims
