Forensic Accounting for Tax Investigations
Our forensic accountants have extensive experience in defending clients during corporate and personal tax fraud and misconduct investigations.
HMRC’s taskforces alternate their focus on specific industries or sector groups in an attempt to recover unpaid tax, which means all businesses should be aware that they may be investigated.
Prime has the expertise and experience to represent all clients who find themselves the subject of an enquiry.
By combining accounting, auditing and investigative skills, our specialists look beyond the numbers to reveal the true picture of a financial situation and provide an expert opinion based on the evidence available.
This independent and in-depth analysis can be provided as written and oral testimony to be used for legal proceedings and dispute resolution.
Our team are highly professional and experienced in dealing with the sensitive issue of tax investigations and understand that it can be a stressful and worrying time.
A Strategic Approach to Forensic Accounting
Prime’s approach to supporting clients during HMRC tax investigations is efficient and strategic.
Anyone could be subject to an HMRC tax enquiry and as a firm we have a proven track record with HMRC resulting in few enquiries being made against our clients.

Support With Your Tax Investigation
HMRC tax investigations are used to identify misconduct or fraud relating to corporate tax and VAT, or for personal tax matters.
Investigations are typically used to identify instances of:
- Unpaid tax
- Tax avoidance
- Tax evasion
- Incorrect application of VAT
If you or your business is the subject of an enquiry, we highly recommend seeking professional advice and appointing a forensic accountant before liaising with HMRC. Our specialists have the experience and skills to advise you on the best approach and response.
