Special Compliance Office

Inland Revenue Special Compliance Office Investigations and Prosecutions

Special Compliance Office investigations require expert handling to avoid the risk of prosecution and to minimise the very significant exposure to additional taxes, interest and penalties. The work involved in producing disclosure reports to the required standard of detail and quality can be very onerous and may lead to extremely high professional charges if not correctly managed from the outset. Inadequate advice will always result in the client paying more than is necessary.

We are experts at handling Code 9 ("Hansard") investigations involving alleged serious fraud. We also advise in the defence of prosecution cases. Our team works with the client's regular advisors to plan and execute the required work in the most efficient way. This minimises the tax settlement, achieves value for money on professional charges, enabling the regular advisor to manage the needs of other clients, and the client to get on with running his business and his life.

SCO investigations are traumatic experiences for clients. We know this and we provide a personal service that supports the client throughout the process and seeks wherever possible to reduce the stress.

And because our business is centred around this work we are able to deliver all the above at considerable savings compared with the charges of major accountancy firms.
