Established in 1988, Avari and Associates is a recognised leading specialist Tax Investigation Consultancy.
A highly skilled and a very experienced team of consultants at Avari and Associates, drawn from HM Revenue & Customs background, can assist you in coping with any Tax/VAT investigation however complex.
Last year the Chancellor allocated £900million to HMRC and the Department is now vigorously tackling many thousands of tax evaders. In the last two years, HMRC have targeted selective groups of people from all walks of life – accountants, barristers, solicitors, doctors, dentists, plumbers, heating engineering and restaurateurs in London. In addition, all banks have been forced to provide information concerning customers holding offshore bank accounts. Those who have failed to voluntarily make a disclosure of their offshore bank accounts will soon be pursued by HMRC. It is reckoned that some 500,000 people have not taken advantage of two separate amnesties – Offshore Disclosure Facility (ODF) in 2007, and New Disclosure Facility (NDO) in 2009.
Avari and Associates can secure very advantageous settlements since in suitable circumstances, through a further window of opportunity presently available and only recently extended until 5 April 2016, we can offer on your behalf to make a voluntary disclosure under the amnesty known as the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility (LDF). This could prove to be extremely advantageous.
Enquiries conducted under the HM Revenue & Customs Code of Practice 9, ie civil investigation into cases of suspected serious fraud, require the services of a resourceful investigation consultant to resist any excessive demands of the Revenue Departments. If not handled correctly, it may lead to criminal investigation. Our in-depth experience of HM Revenue & Customs’ infrastructure, working practices, and compliance powers, places us in a commanding position to tackle any enquiry, however large and complex, and we can negotiate very advantageous settlements.
Our experience is also invaluable in the event of criminal prosecution or enquiries conducted under the ambit of Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). We are holders of Licensed Access granted by Bar Standards Board, which gives us access to various Chambers of Barristers, whom we can directly instruct in tax investigation matters up to the High Court and as far as the Court of Appeal. You could, therefore, save considerable legal fees.
In summary, if you should have any worries concerning enquiries made by HM Revenue & Customs, consult Avari and Associates for expert advice and assistance.
