HMRC names takeaways, convenience stores and a vape shop in latest deliberate tax defaulters list

INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES NAMED AND SHAMED

About 140 individuals and businesses penalised for deliberately defaulting on tax exceeding £25,000 have today (26 March) been named by HMRC. 

The latest update includes several takeaways, convenience stores, a vape importer and a vape shop. In every case, those named failed to make a full disclosure when HMRC began its investigation – a step that would have kept their details off the list. 

The list covers civil penalties only and does not include criminal convictions for tax fraud. Details remain published for 12 months.
