The world of corporate tax is a lot more confusing than just preparing a simple tax return, and with almost all payments going in and out of the company needing to be taxed at some stage and with VAT needing to be added to the majority of products that are sold, the whole process can get very confusing.
In turn, it is not uncommon for mistakes to be made, but knowing whether an incident was a genuine mistake or an act of serious fraud can be hard to ascertain and businesses or even individuals that do make mistakes may find themselves at the centre of a lengthy investigation.
There are many ways to avoid such problems or to at least get the best possible resolution, and it is worth remembering that tax avoidance and tax evasion are very different things. However, with numerous major companies now being investigated over their complicated taxation arrangements which have lead to them generating huge profits in the UK without paying any tax, many companies are finding that even seemingly legal tax avoidance can be damaging too.
Talking to experts will help you balance your tax liabilities more effectively, allowing you to pay only what is fair without it damaging your reputation or stopping you from remaining competitive. However, if VAT fraud is suspected at any point, you will also need to know who to turn to. In such a case, solicitors who specialise in such fraud prosecution will be needed over lawyers you might ordinarily use as in-depth knowledge of the process of taxation and the laws that govern it will be integral to ensuring the best resolution.
No business wishes to pay more tax than it needs to, but it is wise to make sure that you are not leaving yourself open to investigation either, and that you therefore seek help from those who know exactly how to balance your books effectively.
