Several garages that owe tens of thousands of pounds in tax have been named on a list of deliberate tax defaulters, released at the end of last year.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) says it publishes the list to “deter people from becoming deliberate defaulters”, but also to “encourage deliberate defaulters to come forward and put their tax affairs in order”. By coming forward, companies and people can avoid having their details published.

Auto George Ltd of Coventry, Mohammed Sabir Abdalkarim (car valeting), ULS Ltd, K A MOT & Repair Centre and Manor Cars of Saltash were named on the latest HMRC list. Of these, K A MOT & Repair Centre owes the most, with penalties totalling £72,000.

In September, Tiley of Bristol was hit with a fine of nearly £225,000.

HMRC defines a deliberate defaulter as a company or individual who “deliberately get their tax affairs wrong”.
