    New computer system nails £2billion tax dodge cheats | The Sun |News|Politics


    not a bad return
    A £45MILLION super-computer has helped Revenue officials grab back an extra £2billion from tax-dodgers.
    Inspectors can trawl a billion pieces of information to spot criminal gangs or super-rich evaders within minutes.

    The Sun is the first paper to see the pioneering system, called Connect, at work at HM Revenue and Customs HQ in Whitehall.

    Bosses say they have “more data than the British Library” — and in the past inspectors had to spend months sifting through paperwork.

    Critics fear the network means more ordinary taxpayers will face gruelling inspections.

    But Connect’s creator Mike Hainey says it is now easier to spot if someone is innocent.

    Among those nabbed so far are a maisonette address being used to submit fraudulent tax refund claims from 105 different people.

    105 - WTF?

Working...
