HMRC Powers, Tax Penalties and Enquiries

It is now five years since the HMRC powers review began. We have had a range of measures over that time. HMRC powers have been extended considerably. The final piece of the tougher, new penalty regime takes effect from April 2010. The recent Budget went further, with penalties raised to 200% on tax liabilities arising on certain undeclared offshore assets. The disclosure of tax avoidance scheme rules have been tightened.

At this conference you will learn how HMRC will apply their new civil & criminal powers, conduct compliance checks and interpret the new penalty regime. You’ll hear from HMRC on their ‘direction of travel’. Leading experts will present case studies explaining how the rules are applied in practice, and you’ll hear the latest on optimising the Liechtenstein disclosure facility.

Don’t miss your opportunity to:

- Be fully prepared for the post-April 2010 rules to make sure your clients do not all foul of the new regime.

- Put your questions to the top experts drawn from a range of firms

- Hear direct from HMRC and learn from your peers – hear practical

guidance and case studies, backed up by anonymised but true stories
