HMRC | Tax Securities | Revenue Offences Defence Solicitors

Who Is At Risk? | Kangs Tax Offences Advisory Team
Value Added Tax
Security can be demanded from the person or business registered or required to be registered for VAT.
National Insurance Contributions | Pay as Your Earn Tax
The employer is responsible for the provision of security.
Where the employer is a limited company or a limited liability partnership (LLP), security may also be required from one or more of the company directors or partners.
Failure To Comply | Kangs Financial Crime Defence Solicitors
