**Job summary**:
HMRC’s Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) is responsible for the department’s 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 support teams to name but 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 nobody is beyond our reach.

The Economic Crime (EC) deputy directorate forms an integral part of the HMRC Serious Fraud Strategy. Working closely across the department and the wider Law Enforcement community, using specialist expertise and modern technology we put illicit finance at the centre of operations. Our teams tackle the financial aspects of cases that will ultimately deter, disrupt and remove assets from tax fraudsters.

The Economic Crime Strategy VAT resource is a fast paced, proactive working environment, with strategic focus on disrupting serious tax fraud and consequent illicit financial flows. We use the wide range of powers available in civil, taxes and insolvency legislation, supporting operational teams to recover unlawfully obtained finances and assets through implementation of innovative enforcement and recovery strategies. Our work involves providing specialist technical support to the full range of HMRC compliance interventions from pre-repayment checks and civil investigations, through targeted insolvency action, and Proceeds of Crime Act seizures, to criminal prosecutions.

**Job description**:
This can be a wide-ranging role: one day they might be being cross-examined in Crown Court about calculations they’ve completed in support of a criminal case; the next they might be scrutinising a VAT repayment claim for evidence of fraud, or taking counsel through the legislation and evidence which supports the raising of a VAT assessment against a seriously Non-Compliant trader, as part of a targeted civil recovery strategy.

**Person specification**:
**Key Responsibilities**

Acting as allocated Indirect Tax lead on significant civil and criminal cases - providing technical advice to colleagues on risks, using knowledge, judgement and experience to make sound recommendations on complex/contentious issues taking ownership for the progression of the VAT/Indirect side of the case, up to and including making assessments, and preparing statements to support them in court and/or Tribunal, and supporting recovery and enforcement strategies for liabilities established. Such cases may include, but are not limited to, Supply Chain and Organised Labour Fraud (OLF) cases.

Play a leading role in developing a clear understanding of themes, identifying risks and emerging trends to inform the overall picture of VAT and other Indirect Tax risk in the Economic Crime customer base.

Contribute to the development and delivery of up-to-date technical training and guidance for Indirect Tax in conjunction with product and process owners and other stakeholders - supporting and coach colleagues across FIS EC, FIS and the wider HMRC, by taking a senior role within Economic Crime, including mentoring other Investigators and trainees & sharing expertise.
