Tax investigations can significantly affect any business. The newly merged department of HM Revenue & Customs that came into effect on 18 April 2005 has also created Large Business Service Units, which now specifically focus on the large business sector of the economy, thus closing the “tax gap” even further.

An investigation creates immense stress on a business, the individuals and family concerned. Avari and Associates will absorb all the strain and ensure that your problems are addressed professionally and that the investigators do not exert unreasonable pressure.

Many accountants will meet a serious tax investigation perhaps only once in a professional career. Our experience of the complete understanding of procedures and your rights under the law will allow Avari and Associates to complement the work of the accountant.

The confidence of banks, suppliers and customers can be jeopardised by a serious tax enquiry. Avari and Associates can seek to establish a cooperative relationship with the investigators so that the business is not disrupted or thrown under a public cloud of suspicion.

When the Revenue Authorities allege criminal intent, investigations experience is essential to a successful defence. Avari and Associates knows that intent cannot be presumed from documents alone. A defence must present documents in the context of behaviour so as to establish its true rationale for behaviour. Avari and Associates can, therefore, provide the best legal support services. Moreover, our Licensed Access granted by the Bar Standards Board gives us direct access to various barristers’ chambers throughout the UK.
