Hi forum
We're a small practice and we have been served with a production order relating to one of our clients over VAT misrepresentation. We have a few issues reconciling ethics, client confidentiality and disclosure. We have complied with the production order but now we have to have an interview with the case officer and provide a statement.
The case officer has stated they have seized our clients IT equipment and have seen all of our correspondence and have asked us to provide anything we think we may have overlooked that relates to production order. This seems odd if they have seen all of our correspondence with our client. Has anyone had any experience of this type of investigation? This is all new to us and whilst we want to make sure we assist HMRC within the production order we also have to maintain our clients best interests so much as we can. HMRC have not provided us with any evidence nor have they informed us what the nature of the allegations actually entail (other than misrepresentation).
thanks
