In addition to the latest 92 deliberate tax defaulters added to the published list, as at 17 June 2021, at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/publishing-details-of-deliber... ... with some interesting names - Cocoon Wealth LLP, The Tax Repayment Agency Ltd, Inbrella Limited (formerly known as Anderson Accounts Services Limited) ... there is now a new list for:
People involved in transactions connected with VAT fraud - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/people-involved-in-transactio...
This first list only has 3 companies (in not unexpected lines of work), but the penalties are substantial. More importantly, this is evidence of a new focus in this area now that the post-Brexit rules have supposedly settled down ... and is rumoured to be a precursor to a similar approach for covid-related grants of all types.
So ... not really a question, just a heads-up over the (unsurprising) direction of travel with an unsustainable level of Treasury debt.

The only people who give a monkey's about being on that list are famous people (not called John Smith etc.) and regulated professionals etc., so it's mostly a waste of time & effort.

Agree. What does it achieve?
Whilst they are very naughty for doing tax fraud, I have to congratulate the director(s) of 'Kebabalicious Kebab Limited' for a cracking company name.
It was disappointing to see a Mr Naveed, who operated a convenience store, was not based in *Craiglang
Sean [Patrick] Bean on the list. I wondered why he was doing time on my telly :-D
* for the bewildered, watch a few episodes of 'Still Game'
Good luck trying to collect taxes from those drivers who have "relocated" to Hungary and Bulgaria.
There's a lot of unpaid tax there.
Of interest is that some of the larger debts have been run up by online traders based outside the UK.
On the basis that these are but a few that have been spotted, is there a need for UK Gov to legislate harder for online platforms selling into the UK to keep an eye on things and send regular reports. Maybe even force a move to a model where the fund processors withhold the tax element of relevant transactions?
