uin	135089
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2018 answer text <p>HMRC does not hold comprehensive records of criminal convictions of wealthy individuals prior to 2015. The number of wealthy individuals that have received a criminal conviction for serious and complex tax crime since 2015 is 27.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2017, HMRC brought together their High Net Worth Unit and Affluent teams to form a single team classified as the Wealthy Unit. This organisational change is targeted at promoting tax compliance and tackling non-compliance across the whole of the wealthy customer group. These changes will ensure HMRC deploy their specialist, highly skilled resource on those wealthy individuals that present the highest compliance risk.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is committed to ensuring all individuals, including the wealthy, pay the correct tax when it’s due, and pursues those who fail to meet their tax obligations. HMRC’s dedicated Wealthy Unit works closely with teams across HMRC to tackle all forms of non-compliance effectively. Where there is evidence of criminality, HMRC will not hesitate to investigate those involved with a view to prosecution.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has a strong track record of tackling those who have evaded their responsibilities, or those who have facilitated tax evasion, and is successful in over 90% of prosecutions.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is not itself a prosecuting authority. All prosecutions have to be authorised by the relevant independent prosecuting authority, which for England and Wales would be the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS); for Scotland, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS); and for NI, the Public Prosecution Service for NI (PPSNI).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 17/04/2018 10:54:08 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2018 answer text <p>The case categorisation ‘serious and complex’ was introduced in Summer Budget 2015. Therefore, comprehensive records for criminal investigations opened into serious and complex tax crime prior to the financial year 2016/17 are not available.</p><p> </p><p>The number of criminal investigations into individuals in the ‘serious and complex’ category that commenced in the following years is:</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>2017/18 - 88</p></li><li><p>2016/17 - 83</p><p> </p><p>During a criminal investigation HMRC gathers evidence to ascertain whether the individual should be charged with an offence, or the individual charged with an offence is guilty of it. However, HMRC is not a prosecuting authority. If the evidence supports a criminal charge the case is presented to the relevant prosecuting authority, which for England and Wales would be the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS); for Scotland, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS); and for NI, the Public Prosecution Service for NI (PPSNI).</p></li></ul> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 17/04/2018 10:50:09 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
