Pure Tax Investigations Ltd is a United Kingdom-based tax consultancy firm that specialises in HMRC tax investigations, tax disclosures, and dispute resolution. The firm is recognised for its expertise in serious tax investigation cases, including Code of Practice 9 (COP9), Code of Practice 8 (COP8), and various HMRC disclosure campaigns. Pure Tax Investigations operates as an independent boutique consultancy, providing advisory and representation services for individuals, businesses, partnerships, and trusts involved in HMRC tax enquiries.

History

Pure Tax Investigations Ltd was founded in January 2022 by Amit Puri, an experienced tax investigations specialist and former senior tax inspector at HM Revenue and Customs. Puri established the company following nearly two decades of work within the public and private sectors, including senior positions at HMRC and Grant Thornton UK LLP.

Before founding Pure Tax Investigations, Amit Puri spent over ten years at HM Revenue and Customs in various departments, including Local Compliance (Large and Complex), Specialist Civil Investigations, Special Investigations, and the Centre for Offshore Evasion Strategy. His roles involved dealing with large and complex tax investigations, offshore evasion matters, and serious fraud enquiries.

In 2015, Puri left HMRC to join Grant Thornton’s National Tax Investigations unit in London, where he was later promoted to Tax Director. He played a leading role in business development and the expansion of the firm’s investigations team. In 2018, he founded and led a tax investigations and disputes resolution business within a boutique tax consultancy in Mayfair, London.

After developing a strong reputation and growing his client base, Puri separated from the previous firm to establish Pure Tax Investigations Ltd as a fully independent tax investigations boutique. The company was founded with the vision of offering a dedicated and client-focused service for those facing complex tax issues, HMRC disputes, and disclosure opportunities.

Since its formation, Pure Tax Investigations has grown in prominence as a trusted tax investigations consultancy, known for its pragmatic approach and strong representation of clients in both civil and specialist HMRC matters.
