The 2013 list includes updated information on the original 20 fugitives published last August as well as information on an additional 10 more “tax fugitives”.
Chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne said: “Our message is clear; tax fraud and evasion is illegal and will not be tolerated. Millions of hard-working people pay their taxes and it is they who are being defrauded. The government has stepped up HMRC’s enforcement activities to enable them to pursue tax cheats relentlessly around the world.
“The publication of HMRC’s Most Wanted has already helped catch two people wanted for tax fraud. This new list will help put more tax fraudsters in the spotlight and bring them to justice.”
HMRC said the new tax fugitives on the most wanted list are being pursued for a range of crimes including VAT fraud, tax evasion and money laundering. Their crimes have cost the taxpayer between £100,000 and £10m.
