Civil Evasion Tax Investigation

Has HMRC opened a Civil Evasion Tax Investigation?

Although civil evasion investigations are rarely prosecuted criminally, this is not a guarantee, so all investigations must be taken seriously.

The HMRC will still demand your repayment of any tax owed together with interest and a large penalty, even if they do not file a criminal prosecution. Tax penalties of up to 100% of unpaid tax can be charged by HMRC unless the tax is owed overseas, in which case penalties of 150% - 200% can be charged. Certainly, this can have a very detrimental impact on a person's business and personal life. The investigations are conducted under different procedures and do not involve criminal prosecutions.

These procedures are as follows:

• Code of Practice 8
• Code of Practice 9
• Code of Practice 11
