Contractual Disclosure Facility

What is a CDF?

• Individuals suspected of tax fraud they will be offered the CDF.
• CDF can also be used by anyone who wishes to own up to tax fraud.
• CDF does not apply to errors, mistakes or avoidance schemes.

If HMRC writes to you because they suspect tax fraud has been committed and intends to investigate using Code of Practice 9, a CDF contract will be offered.

There are three options

• Own up to fraud - the CDF route
• Deny the Fraud
• Do not reply or cooperate with HMRC

If you own up to the fraud and make full disclosure, under COP 9 procedures, HMRC will not pursue a criminal prosecution.

Requirements of the CDF Agreement

• You have 60 days to make full and formal disclosure
• Sign a statement stating that you have given accurate details of the fraud
• Pay all taxes, duties, interest and penalties due
• Cease all fraud immediately
