HMRC can commence criminal and civil investigations against UK tax payers. Bivonas Law can advise in relation to both types of investigation and work in conjunction with accountants to seek to head off a prosecution or mitigate interest and penalties.

- Raids, seizure and investigations
- Judicial reviews including claims for the urgent release of goods and damages for unlawful detentions and injunctions
- Disclosure and legal privilege issues

- Abuse of powers issues
- Irregularities and place of supply issues
- Winding up petitions
