HMRC publishes details of deliberate tax defaulters, these are people who have received penalties either for:
deliberate errors in their tax returns
deliberately failing to comply with their tax obligations
The law that allows this is section 94 Finance Act 2009.
We may publish information about a deliberate tax defaulter where:
we have carried out an investigation and the person has been charged one or more penalties for deliberate defaults
those penalties involve tax of more than £50,000
Their information will not be published if the person earns the maximum reduction of the penalties by fully disclosing details of the defaults.
We will publish enough information to identify the:
deliberate tax defaulter
penalties imposed for their deliberate defaults
amount of tax on which those penalties are for
We publish this information once these penalties are final. A penalty becomes final on either the:
day after the end of the appeal period if the person does not make an appeal
date when an appeal is finally determined
date when a contract settlement is made
The law requires that we do not publish any information about the person for more than 12 months from the date we first publish it. The lists of deliberate tax defaulters will not be captured for The National Archives.
It’s important to note:
the published person may have changed their behaviour
the published person may no longer be at the published address
the business currently at the published address may have no connection with published business
the business currently at the published address may have the same name as the published business but could be under completely new management
Amounts in the list relate to the tax/duty on which penalties are based and the penalties charged, where the penalty meets the criteria for publishing under the Publishing Details of Deliberate Defaulters legislation. The list does not necessarily represent the full default of the taxpayer.
