About

Provided by Corker Binning

Corker Binning’s tax fraud lawyers have an impressive track record for our work in HMRC investigations and our defence of some of the largest and most complex prosecutions brought by the Revenue and Customs division of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).


In addition to our tax fraud defence we work closely with accountants to advise on administrative civil settlements using the route most suitable to the case. In every case we consider whether a criminal case can be diverted away from prosecution to a civil settlement. In these cases, tax and penalties will be paid in exchange for an immunity from prosecution.


We also have expertise of acting for professional clients and businesses caught up in investigations by HMRC or the Revenue and Customs division of the CPS. For example, our tax fraud lawyers have advised both individuals and institutions in the financial services sector who have been compelled by statutory powers to provide information to HMRC.
