HMRC’s Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) investigates the most serious and complex tax crimes. The Economic Crime team sits at the centre of FIS, working across the department and with other law enforcement and government partners to pursue criminals and remove the proceeds of their crimes.
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 exhibition stand will showcase the role it plays in tackling economic crime in the UK, notably in its role as an anti-money laundering (AML) supervisor of approximately 36,000 businesses. This will provide learning opportunities on AML, and how HMRC’s powers and tools can support other partners to effectively tackle economic crime.
Delegates will have the opportunity to learn more about how HMRC’s investigation, asset recovery and anti-money laundering powers complement and support the activities of the broader government agenda.
