Tax offences cover acts and omissions that break the law in relation to income tax, capital gains tax, VAT and other duties. A solicitor practising in this area helps you understand the charges you face, gathers and reviews evidence, and communicates with HM Revenue & Customs and other authorities. They draft statements, assist with disclosure, and represent you in negotiations, investigations and court proceedings if needed. The work often arises from audits, investigations of suspected fraud, or disputes over liability and penalties.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The consequences of tax offences can be serious and time‑critical, including penalties, fines, and potential criminal liability if fraud or evasion is alleged. A solicitor provides guidance on the evidence and procedures, supports required disclosures, and represents clients in proceedings in the Crown Court or Magistrates’ Court, as well as in related appeals to the Tax Tribunal (First-tier Tribunal).
