HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has published a briefing on tax fraud, explaining fraudulent new models offering cheaper payroll services.

The scheme model falsely claims to reduce employers liabilities by using so called tax credits, offset from a third party.

Please be aware that HMRC considers these arrangements as tax evasion.

If you as a pay professional or your business are approached by any company offering such services, please report it using the HMRC online form.
