Summary
Job description
Tax work is important to the NCA’s overall asset recovery performance, both in quantitative terms and also in terms of harm reduction. All of the referrals are from other teams within the NCA or from other law enforcement agencies and may fall across the whole of the UK. Frequently they are based on the fact that traditional criminal justice routes to tackle criminality have either failed or are not possible. The tax route allows law enforcement to have an impact on criminals who would otherwise retain the proceeds of their crimes.
You’ll be expected to work collaboratively with partners, both inside the NCA and external partners such as police forces, HMRC and other stakeholders.
