Tax Investigation Units

HMRC have specialised teams to deal with different types of Tax Enquiries (e.g. cases of Suspected Tax Fraud; Offshore Bank Accounts) and different classes of taxpayers (e.g. Owner Managed Business; Buy To Let landlords).  

They also have special teams to handle specific Tax Investigation projects: such as the current large project looking at UK residents with offshore assets and bank accounts (The Worldwide Disclosure Facility).
