Proceeds of Crime Act

Criminal Tax Investigations under POCA

HMRC INVESTIGATIONS & POCA

The Proceeds of Crime Act, POCA is used by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) to seize money and other assets to stop criminals from benefiting from their activities.

Our tax specialist advises solicitors and defence lawyers on POCA asset recovery investigations. In many cases, prosecution evidence has been challenged and disproved. Criminal lawyers are sometimes used to challenge the system.

We have seen cases where criminal confiscations for huge sums have been demanded when the truth is that only very small amounts of cash were involved.

Confiscation issues include

  • Money by deception and scams
  • Sale of tobacco products from the EU
  • The sale of counterfeit goods
  • Handling stolen property
  • Money laundering
  • Drug trafficking
  • Internet fraud

Anything bought with money from tax evasion can be seized by the court, including your home, car or business.

Anyone who is subject to criminal charges in relation to any offence involving money or monetary value should ensure that their legal team gets in touch with our tax specialist straight away.
