Moral of the story:

Download Tails, install to USB key
Use TOR for asking such questions on the internet.
Use Tails' TOR for whistleblowing.

Or use the info to blacmail FD for not reporting issue to HMRC. Worth a 50% rate increase?

I can't go into any details for obvious reasons, but after pressing the FD he has now decided that it would be safer (for him!) to report the fraud, so we are in the process of doing so. Thanks again for your advice and the suggestion to go back to the FD rather than reporting behind his back - have not been terminated yet by them.

Excellent news.

And then they may find out the OP is a sockie.

Or that the OP has been posting from a mobile phone or internet cafe. Using a burner email.



Because if the fraud gets discovered and it is found you have known and did not report it, its deep doo-doo time.

yep, deep, thick and very smelly

I'm pretty sure HMRC was already watching this forum for any IR35 and 90% retention threads, now we have a £1M tax fraud thread. The stuff these guys can learn from just reading this forum. The mods can expect an email from HMRC soon demanding IP addresses and email of the OP.

Ignore it, if HMRC can't be ****ed to do their jobs properly why should anyone help them. Useless *****.

I'm pretty sure it would need a court order to be legally enforceable. And getting a court order needs evidence.
Mind you HMRC may well ask admin who wants to be next for an IR35 investigation if they don't get an IP....

As BP said, step one is to protect yourself. Recorded conversation with the FD or a follow up email getting him to say "no, I don't want you to do anything with this" in writing.

"Excuse me, Mr. FD. Would you send me an email that puts your a*se on the line whilst covering mine? Thanks muchly.".

Good luck with that.

I came across a significant tax fraud (around £1m) being undertaken by one of our long-standing suppliers, and brought this to the attention of the Finance Director. He investigated and agrees that there was almost certainly a fraud being perpetrated by the supplier, and instructed us to terminate them immediately which we have done. However, he does not want to notify the tax authorities as he is concerned that this will affect the backhanders that he gets paid.

FTFY.

Get off your high f****** horse. OP is in an awful situation; and very well done for your sarcastic email, really useful in the business/professional forum. Bore off to General - k-thnx-bye.

Bit harsh eh ?

OP isn't in an awful position. He has placed a higher value on protecting himself and his income whilst trying to pretend he really wants to blow the whistle under a moral obligation

Can't have it both ways.

Hmmm.

[mattfx]

some of that is down to the lack of opposition they face. Maybe I should join IPSE.

Sorry I thought you wanted opposition?
