Carbon Credit Fraud

We act on behalf of clients who are the subject of enquiries such as the recent investigation into the alleged £38 million carbon credit fraud investigated by officers from HM Revenue & Customs in London and Gravesend.

It is believed that members of an organised crime network have been trading large volumes of high-value carbon credits from overseas sources free of VAT. These are then believed to be sold onto businesses in the UK including VAT without paying the duty to the authorities.

This form of tax avoidance is a variation of Carousel VAT fraud. Carousel fraud, also known as "missing trader" fraud, typically involves goods such as mobile phones and computer chips imported VAT-free which are then sold in the UK, including a VAT charge, but the trader then going missing without paying the authorities.

Investigations are anticipated to be long and complex and may result in serious charges being brought against a large number of individuals. Inevitably any trial before the crown court will attract considerable publicity and last for many months. If you require advice and representation in respect of this enquiry then please contact us on 0800 988 5124 or click here and send us a message.

Our firm provides expert specialist defence representation in cases of serious fraud. We are recognised as one of the countries leading criminal law firms defending in such cases of serious crime.

It is essential that those the subject of such enquiry have expert legal representation such as we provide to ensure that the such prosecutions do not result in a miscarriage of justice.

This firm is repeatedly asked to assist clients who have already, at some time, during the course of an investigation or Court proceedings instructed Solicitors. We are used to dealing with such enquiries and advising as to the transfer of a case from previous Solicitors to this practice. It is important to those the subject of an investigation or prosecution, that they are confident in the Solicitors that they instruct and that they consider those that act for them are doing everything they possibly can to assist.
