A cyber security training service in Watford is among the list of businesses named and shamed for deliberate tax defaulters.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has recently released an updated list of deliberate tax defaulters, partly published from March 2021, and some from November 2020.

Businesses included on the list have either deliberately provided one or more inaccurate documents to HMRC, failed to comply with HMRC obligation or committed a VAT wrongdoing.

These deliberate acts have resulted in HMRC establishing an additional amount of tax of more than £25,000.

If listed, it means a taxpayer has not made a full or immediate disclosure when HMRC began to investigate.

Among the list was Abdul Rauf Farooqui, who runs his training service ‘Cyber Security Jobs Ltd’ at an address in Park Road.

The default was between April 6 2010 and April 5, with a total amount of tax of £100,541.12.

In total, the penalty charged was £50,270.54

Ionel Alin Dobrin, a HGV driver, formerly of an address in Washington Avenue, Hemel Hempstead deliberately defaulted tax on November 7, 2018. The default was £27,302, and the defaulter was charged a penalty of £11,466.84.
