Tax cheats named by HMRC

Names of tax cheats have been published on HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) website. 

Publishing the names of deliberate tax defaulters is part of HMRC’s approach to combating tax evasion and non-compliance by ensuring everyone pays their fair share, creating a level playing field for honest people and businesses, and cracking down on the minority who seek to evade tax.

HMRC’s Jennie Granger, Director General for Enforcement and Compliance, said:
“HMRC will publish the names of tax cheats every quarter. So, anyone who is thinking about avoiding their responsibilities should consider the consequences before they refuse to tell HMRC about their full tax liability.

“Cheating on tax is wrong and HMRC is dedicated to clamping down on the small minority of people who try to evade their responsibilities.

“Publishing these names encourages defaulters to make a full and prompt disclosure and cooperate with HMRC to avoid being named – all the named defaulters have exhausted the appeals process.”
