A Bristol garage has been accused of dodging £37,263 in tax between September 2016 and November 2017, according to HMRC’s latest list of deliberate defaulters.

Autotec has received a financial penalty of £20,867.28 for the tax evasion.

The MOT and service centre has overdue accounts which should have been filed by the end of February 2019.

A person or business’ details appear on the defaulters list if they have made at least one deliberate default on more than £25,000 in tax.

The list is updated every three months and a defaulter’s details are removed after a year.

HMRC said publication of the list is “about influencing behaviour by encouraging defaulters to engage” with the tax collection department.

Defaulters have 30 days from a penalty notice to pay their tax and penalty charge.

“If the additional tax and / or penalty is not paid within 30 days, the debt will be passed to colleagues within HMRC’s debt management who will take further steps in order to recover the amounts outstanding,” HMRC added.

The HMRC website warns: “If you wait until HMRC investigates you, and do not provide all the information we need right at the start of the investigation, you run the risk of having your details published.”
