Recent press reports indicate that HMRC - SCI has launched criminal investigations into two account-holders with HSBC in Switzerland. Previously, HMRC had only investigated account-holders using their civil powers (Code of Practice 9; Civil Investigation of Fraud ) - you need to act before they come a calling on you if you messed up

arrangements that were uncovered during enquiries.
Inevitably transactions entered into with offshore banking
and other arrangements to evade tax are viewed very
seriously by HMRC and you may not be guaranteed to be
looking at only a monetary settlement. Watch out for the
"Schedule 36 notice" you can get more penalties for
ignoring it and attitudes can harden leading to
unnecessary difficulties.
I have the experience and knowledge to broker your
voluntary disclosure to HMRC so that you benefit
from this approach - hopefully - before they come
knocking and not afterwards.
Alternatively I can also apply my experience and
knowledge to deal with HMRC if they have already opened
an enquiry into your liabilities and you need the enquiry
managed.
Remember that you could be looking at twenty years of
duties interest and penalties if you took part in the 1980's
advertised Offshore Banking opportunities.
Now is the time to deal with matters before the
information lands on the Inspector's desk whether by
(a) Offshore Tax havens exchanging information
(b) Lichtenstein informants getting paid
(c) HMRC continued action against the banks
or somebody contacting the evasion hotline
Bill Stevenson can protect your rights in any enquiry
I will carry out a risk review of your potential tax liabilities or exposure and discuss how a disclosure could be managed to your benefit

HMRC are usually using the "Discovery" provisions so be sure that you only give them what is absolutely necessary and to your advantage.

A Testimonial:-
Having spent over 9 months trying to deal with an HMRC
offshore disclosure enquiry on my own, going nowhere and
getting more intrusive – Bill sorted it out in 3 months.
Not only dealing with what looked like a potentially large
CGT, but also turning this into a Tax Repayment!.
The whole episode was really a reflection on the time
wasting methods of HMRC, and the efficiency of Bill in
dealing with them.
RC Wales - July 2009.
People with offshore accounts had until 12 March 2010 to
come clean and declare all their off-shore income and
gains to HMRC.
From 1 April 2011, if you hide money in a country that
does not have an information exchange agreement with the
to 200% of the tax due. If the tax evaded is £25,000 or
more, HMRC may publish the taxpayer's name and
address as part of their name and shaming powers and
even worse you could be prosecuted.
