THE Government has released a list of those it deems have 'deliberately defaulted' on their tax.
Among the list of businesses and individuals are three names from Warrington, including a Thelwall business, and a man on Padgate Lane.
Those who 'seriously default' on their tax are monitored by HMRC; after a period of non-compliance, individuals and businesses are then named and shamed by the Government.
A person or business can be considered a serious defaulter if they are:
- Charged a penalty because of their deliberate behaviour under specific tax legislation
- Identified during a civil investigation of fraud, as presenting a continuing high risk
- Charged a civil evasion penalty for dishonesty
- Who’ve paid a security for VAT, Environmental Taxes, PAYE or National Insurance contributions
- Who tried to get out of paying what they owe by becoming insolvent - HMRC will only bring into the programme, people who are pursued by Insolvency Practitioners for recovery of money or assets on behalf of HMRC
HMRC also considers a person or business to be a serious defaulter if they have been successfully prosecuted by:
- The Crown Prosecution Service in England and Wales
- The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in Scotland
- The Public Prosecution Service Northern Ireland in Northern Ireland
- Another prosecuting authority for a tax matter
The Warrington businesses and individuals named by the Government for tax fraud on the HMRC website are as follows:
- Quick Cladding Solutions Limited, 35 Weaste Lane - total penalty to pay: £44,178.54
- iSupplyDrivers, 15 Palmyra Square South - total penalty to pay: £179,230.73
- Paul McNamara, 146-148 Padgate Lane - total penalty to pay: £34,307.55
ISupply has since relocated to The Hive, on Sankey Street, according to the business' website.
Information is taken from HMRC/Companies House and is accurate at the time of writing.
