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 & insolvency 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.

Economic Crime undermines the integrity and stability of the global economy, denies funding to critical public services and destroys lives. Criminals often seek to use legitimate channels to launder the proceeds of crime, directly enabling the trafficking of people and drugs, illegal sale of arms and the funding of terrorism. HMRC plays a significant and unique role in tackling the threat posed by economic crime - as a tax authority, a law enforcement agency and as a supervisor under the Money Laundering Regulations.

The Economic Crime Supervision (EC-S) team of almost 300 specialist staff, support those businesses who want to do the right thing, educating them on the impact of money laundering and terrorist financing, the risks they face, and the consequences of not taking action. We safeguard the sectors by preventing criminals and unfit persons obtaining roles in businesses we supervise and pursuing those businesses that should be registered for supervision but aren't. And we respond robustly when businesses do not properly manage money laundering risks by failing to implement the Money Laundering Regulations. We use the full range of HMRC sanctions, including civil measures and, where appropriate, criminal prosecutions.
