Two men and a woman arrested at Lincolnshire on suspicion of £200,000 Income Tax, VAT and Tax Credit fraud.
Three people from Ingham near Lincoln have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in an estimated £200,000 Income Tax, VAT and Tax Credit fraud.
The two men, aged 48 and 40, and a 30-year-old woman were arrested by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) last Friday, October 24, at two residential addresses in Ingham.
Two business premises were also searched – with computers and business records removed for further examination.
HMRC said they were questioned in relation to suspicion of Income Tax evasion, VAT evasion, money laundering and Tax Credit fraud.
And all three have since been questioned and bailed until February 15, 2015, while investigations into the suspected fraud continue.
HMRC’s assistant director of criminal investigation Stuart Taylor said: “This action sends a firm message to anyone involved or considering fraud against HMRC – your time is up.
“We will not hesitate to investigate those suspected of stealing public funds.
“Anyone with information about people who may be involved in tax fraud can contact the Tax Evasion Hotline on 0800 788887.”
