Accused of VAT Fraud?

VAT fraud involves dishonest conduct intended to evade VAT obligations or obtain VAT repayments which businesses or an individual are not entitled to. Depending on the circumstances and nature of the offence, VAT fraud can be committed in several ways, including:

  • False VAT returns
  • Deliberately understating taxable sales
  • Claiming input VAT on purchases that did not take place
  • Using false invoices for repayment claims

HMRC have the powers to investigate suspected VAT fraud and examine your financial records, transactions, and VAT returns. If you are contacted, it is important to understand the nature of the enquiry and obtain legal advice from our VAT fraud solicitors. At Evan Moore Solicitors, we can advise you on your legal position and prepare for formal proceedings.

What are the Penalties for VAT Fraud?

If you are accused of VAT fraud, the consequences depend on the offence. Under section 72 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994, the maximum penalty is seven years’ imprisonment, an unlimited fine, or both. Under the Fraud Act 2006, a maximum sentence is 10 years.

Additionally, if you are found guilty, you will be added onto the DBS database. This can have devastating effects for any future career prospects. At Evan Moore Solicitors, our VAT fraud solicitors in West London have extensive experience in representing clients facing VAT fraud investigations.

We can provide you with 24/7 support, so you are represented at both the police station and the courts. Additionally, we hold a Law Society accreditation for Criminal Litigation.
