HMRC TACKLES SCRAP METAL TAX DODGERS
8 November 2011 A new taskforce targeting scrap metal dealers who are deliberately failing to pay the right amount of tax has been launched by HM Revenue & Customs. The taskforce will pursue scrap metal dealers in Scotland and has been set up to tackle tax evasion where the risk is high. It is one of five taskforces announced today that have been set up to tackle tax evasion in different areas of the country. The new taskforces will target: · scrap metal dealers in Scotland, focusing on those who are deliberately suppressing their income or inflating expenditure to evade paying tax · construction traders who are self employed or run their own company who suppress sales or over-claim expenses in the North West and North Wales · taxpayers not submitting their statutory returns across Corporation Tax, Income tax Self Assessment, PAYE and VAT in the South East · fast food outlets deliberately falsifying their records and mis-declaring their true sales levels to avoid paying the correct taxes in Scotland · landlords – owning or renting three or more properties – evading their tax responsibilities in North West and North Wales. Taskforces are specialist teams that undertake intensive bursts of compliance activity in specific high risk trade sectors and locations across the UK. HMRC is planning 12 taskforces in 2011/12, the first of which was launched in May, and more to follow in 2012/13. If you are aware of someone who is evading their taxes you can tell HMRC via the Tax Evasion Hotline by phone on 0800 788 887, email, or by post.
