Description

Tackling organised crime is a major challenge across Government and the Law Enforcement community. The most recent tax gap figures show the UK lost £4.8bn to criminal attacks in 2014-15. In our approach to tackling this, HMRC aims to protect funding for UK public services, investigating the most harmful tax cheats and ensuring nobody is beyond our reach. This research will inform HMRC's understanding of organised criminals' perceptions of the balance between risk and profit and provide insight on the most effective deterrents for organised crime under HMRC's remit. This will allow HMRC to more effectively tailor activities and associated sanctions to maximise our deterrent impact.
