Fraudulent abuse of the scheme can be reported through HMRC’s online reporting form, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/report-fraud-to-hmrc" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/report-fraud-to-hmrc</a>.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC will not hesitate to act on reports of abuse and the first arrest made in relation to CJRS fraud took place on 8 July.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/07/2020 11:44:58 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
