HMRCs Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) is responsible for the departments civil and criminal investigations. FIS ensures that HMRC has an effective approach to tackling the most serious tax evasion and fraud.
FIS is home to a wide range of people with a variety of skills and professional backgrounds including accountants, cybercrime specialists, criminal justice professionals, tax professionals and operational delivery teams to name a few. We use a range of powers and approaches to protect funding for UK public services, investigating the most harmful tax cheats and ensuring none are beyond our reach. We target a variety of threats, including complex offshore evasion, international smuggling of illicit excise goods, exports of controlled weapons and technology, labour market abuses, money laundering, VAT and Self-Assessment repayment frauds and a host of other fraudulent attacks.
Within FIS, we have the Covert Operations, Digital Exploitation (CODE) team. They work across Law Enforcement and government providing investigative tools and covert techniques to front-line investigations. CODE works with key partners to develop and provide access to new technology and systems, enabling investigators to respond to serious and complex tax evasion and crime.
