Tax Evasion Defence Specialists

Tax Evasion cases often begin with HMRC questioning income, assets, tax returns or business records. The issue may be undeclared income, incorrect filings, offshore arrangements, cash activity or whether an error was deliberate rather than mistaken.

  • You’re under investigation by HMRC or facing criminal allegations relating to Tax Evasion. 
  • You want to protect your rights and ensure the investigation is handled fairly. 
  • You need clear legal advice on tax records, disclosure, interviews and next steps. 

With Ashmans, you do not have to deal with the process alone. We help you understand the allegation, preserve important records and respond carefully.

Tax Evasion and the Law

Under England & Wales law, tax evasion is a serious criminal offence involving the deliberate underpayment or concealment of taxes owed. It is primarily governed by the Taxes Management Act 1970, the Fraud Act 2006, and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

  • Deliberately failing to declare taxable income or assets.
  • Providing false information on tax returns.
  • Concealing funds or business activity through offshore accounts or cash dealings.

  • Knowingly and deliberately intended to evade tax.
  • Engaged in conduct designed to mislead HMRC.
  • Obtained a financial advantage or reduced liability through dishonest means.

Investigations may involve HMRC, the police, CPS, SFO, NCA, financial investigators and digital evidence. Evidence can include bank statements, company ledgers, tax filings, accounting records, emails, witness evidence and international financial material. 

Our Tax Evasion Solicitors review the evidence carefully, including tax records, disclosure history, intent, source of funds, business accounts, HMRC procedure and how the investigation has been handled.

Fraud and Financial Crime

Frequently Asked Questions

Tax evasion involves deliberately misrepresenting or concealing financial information in order to reduce or avoid tax liability. Under UK law, offences may arise where individuals or businesses intentionally fail to declare income, submit false tax returns or hide assets from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

A tax evasion conviction can result in serious penalties, including substantial financial fines, repayment of unpaid tax, confiscation proceedings and, in serious cases, imprisonment. Sentences depend on the value of the tax evaded, the level of planning involved and the individual’s role in the offence.

Our experienced financial crime defence team provides comprehensive legal support throughout the investigation and court process. From advising during HMRC or police interviews to building a strong defence strategy for trial, we work tirelessly to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.

If you become aware of a tax evasion investigation, seek legal advice immediately. Avoid discussing the matter with anyone other than your solicitor and do not attend interviews or provide statements to investigators without legal representation.

Not all tax errors amount to criminal offences. Honest mistakes or misunderstandings may be dealt with through civil penalties rather than prosecution. However, if HMRC believes the inaccuracies were deliberate, criminal charges may be considered.

Yes. Company directors or individuals responsible for financial reporting may face personal criminal liability if they knowingly participate in or allow fraudulent tax practices within a business.

Yes. Authorities may seek Account Freezing Orders, restraint orders or confiscation proceedings where criminal benefit is alleged. 

Yes. A conviction can affect reputation, regulated work, licences, accreditation and future opportunities.
