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
