About the Team

HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) tackles the most serious fraud, evasion and organised criminal attacks against the tax system, using a wide range of approaches, skills and capabilities including civil and criminal investigations.

HMRC plays a significant role in tackling economic crime, delivered through its unique function as a tax authority, law enforcement agency and anti-money laundering supervisor. HMRC’s investigation, asset recovery and anti-money laundering powers complement and support the activities of the broader government agenda.

Exploitation of the UK’s financial system has consequences for tax compliance and society’s perception fairness. Taking robust action when exploitation is identified, including through sectors HMRC supervises under the Money Laundering Regulations and criminal investigations, ensures there are consequences for those actions.

In FIS Economic Crime, we work across HMRC and the wider law enforcement community, using a unique blend of skills and expertise to recover the proceeds of crime and protect the UK against the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing, putting illicit finances at the centre of operations.

Our operational teams tackle the financial aspects of cases to deter, disrupt and remove assets from tax fraudsters, sending a clear message that crime doesn't pay. This includes recovering the assets of crime using criminal and civil powers, taking action to ensure businesses in supervised sectors comply with money laundering and terrorist financing regulations and the post-conviction management of offenders.
