If you visit this page, you may have received a letter from HMRC about Code of Practice 9 Investigation. HMRC Fraud Investigation services will only issue COP9 Investigation letter to an individual in cases where, up to that date, no criminal proceedings have been brought against the taxpayer. When the COP9 Tax Investigation letter is issued, HMRC has evidence of tax evasion, and it’s not speculative. It sounds distressing and scary as you read the letter through. As Tax Accountants and specialist in tax investigations, we have spent many years in the industry representing clients who have been subject to COP8, COP9 tax investigations and Money Laundering offences. Apart from giving you general advice, we will detail the process and what you should and should not do.
