In a statement published this morning, HMRC said the 32 “top tax cheats” prosecuted last year were sentenced to 155 years and 10 months.
The Revenue also published photographs of the jailed tax cheats which are available on Flickr here.
Exchequer secretary to the treasury David Gauke said: “The Government is committed to closing in on tax evaders. Collectively the 32 criminals have been sentenced to more than 150 years. Most people play by the rules and pay what they owe, but HMRC is cracking down on those who don’t.
“We hope that publishing these pictures will help get across that it always makes sense to declare all your income, and tax dodgers are simply storing up trouble for the future.”
