HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has launched a new hotline to report fraud and evasion in the fight against tax fraud.
This service will replace the two separate tax evasion and customs hotlines with one, streamlining HMRC’s intelligence gathering on tax fraud.
Customers can report all kinds of tax fraud and evasion on the new hotline, including PAYE and National Insurance fraud, undisclosed offshore investments, non-payment of the National Minimum Wage, tax credit fraud, failure to pay UK duty, tax evasion and VAT fraud.
Jennie Granger of HMRC said: “We encourage the public to continue to work with us and report any suspected fraud or evasion to us for investigation.”
The HMRC Fraud Hotline – on 0800 788 887 – is open 8am to 8pm seven days a week, 365 days a year or visit http://bit.ly/2nFivKT
