VAT Fraud

VAT Fraud Solicitors

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) takes VAT fraud investigations very seriously, and proceedings are usually lengthy and far reaching, with companies as well as individuals being scrutinised. If you’re found guilty, conviction includes imprisonment and confiscation under the Proceeds of Crime Act, making it vital to get expert legal representation in these cases.

The team at Burton Copeland have provided advice and guidance to many people facing allegations of VAT fraud. If you want to speak to one of our solicitors about your case, you can contact our Manchester office on 0161 827 9500, or fill in our contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
