Arrested for Carousel or MTIC Vat Fraud ? If you don’t know what MTIC Fraud is then you’re probably innocent. It stands for Missing trader Intra Community Fraud. Thousands of innocent individuals find themselves caught up in HMRC Investigations for suspected MTIC Fraud each year.
Basically the fraud at its lowest level is carried out by someone making a VAT reclaim to which they are not entitled following an export of goods outside of the UK. The fraud can only work if somewhere further down the goods supply chain a Company has gone missing before paying the vat due on the goods ( the ‘Missing trader’ ). Accordingly usually at least 2 companies need to be in on it – the exporter and the missing trader.
Problems occur however because the fraud is easier to conceal from HMRC if innocent companies are dragged into the trading chain to provide a buffer between the exporter and the missing trader – known as ‘buffer companies’. HMRC often claim all companies in trading chains must be in on it. Ashcotts Criminal Solicitors have consistently proved this to be a false assertion and that quite often buffer companies are have no knowledge of any fraud and have either been manipulated by the fraudsters or are innocent dupes.
