The Allegations | Kangs National Financial Crime Defence Solicitors

Our client, an accountant and director of a London based accountancy firm, was alleged to have submitted false VAT returns on behalf of a client company in order to obtain refunds of VAT from HMRC to which it was not entitled.

The Prosecution, relying on electronic evidence, endeavoured to link the alleged fraudulent submissions to our client who strongly denied the allegations.

The Successful Outcome | Kangs Financial Crime Defence Team

• Following the matter being listed for trial, extensive written representations were made on the client’s behalf that it was not in the public interest to Prosecute our client.
• The Prosecution, having given detailed consideration to the points raised on behalf of our client, offered no evidence to the court and a ‘Not Guilty’ verdict was recorded.

Our client was delighted with all of the work conducted by Kangs Solicitors leading to the highly satisfactory outcome of this case.
