HRMC COP9 Investigation

What is an HMRC COP9 Investigation?

An HMRC COP9 Investigation is a formal process initiated by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to address cases of suspected tax fraud. Under the Code of Practice 9 (COP9), HMRC offers taxpayers the opportunity to disclose any irregularities in their tax affairs through the Contractual Disclosure Facility (CDF). For a premium tax advisory firm like Tax Advisors, this process requires specialized expertise to guide clients through the disclosure process, ensuring compliance and minimizing the risk of criminal prosecution. Your team provides expert support, helping clients navigate this complex and high-stakes situation with confidence.
