Bill gained his considerable experience in TAX
Investigation work of all types while working on the dark
side (Inland Revenue now called HM Revenue & Inspector
of Taxes - Grade B1 - ( he wasn't political enough to go to
the top and Band A) but relished the freedom of leading Tax
Investigation teams (including Large Business, Corporation
tax along with Offshore Tax Evasion and Proceeds of
Crime etc

a District Inspector,
Enquiry Branch (now called Fraud Investigation Service and
previously Civil Investigation of Fraud and Contractual
Disclosure Facility or COP9), Senior Investigator

Training Mentor for Fully Trained Inspectors
and
POCA "Proceeds of Crime" Team Leader for Scotland
and
latterly being involved in setting up the Wales Scotland &
Northern Ireland CIF Teams including dealing with multi
million pound businesses and enquiries
All this before jumping to the good side to make his
expertise and HMRC's secrets and solutions available to
people caught up in Tax Investigations or technical
arguments. Bill can deliver what he promises and does not
promise what he cannot deliver.

aspects of negotiating tax liabilities and tax inspections

Scotland & England with all that involved including conducting personal appeal hearings before
various bodies of Commissioners
- From 1997 I was responsible for leading multi grade teams of direct tax revenue investigators in
Aberdeen, Glasgow and Scotland North on both Large Business
(companies/partnerships/individuals) and Specialised (Offshore and POCA) Teams
- Part of my duties was to mentor and assist with the training of "high fliers" ( Revenue leaders
of the future) and other inspectors so that I can tell you how it is and know how "they" tick.
- I was involved in the initial preparations and considerations for integrated "direct" and
"indirect" (the new names for old IR & VAT Offices) Code of Practice 9 enquiry work being
undertaken in Local Compliance within Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland in the now Fraud

dealing with HMRC within the law if that is the way you wish to go.
