It has been reported that around half of the sum is blamed
on professional fraudsters, while the rest of the sum is due to non-compliance
and business evasion.
Calls are being made to follow Germany and the Netherlands,
where significant amounts of time and money are being used to target individual
tax evaders. The result shows the number of tax fraud has significantly
decreased in both countries.
Last week, HMRC took to naming and shaming tax thieves that
were caught red handed. The list included photos, names and specific details of
their crimes.
In the Autumn Statement, George Osborne announced that £77m
will be set aside to help find HMRC in their pursuit of tax cheats.
