Business man charge with £140,000 tax fraud
A HAMPSHIRE businessman has been charged with tax evasion offences estimated at £140,000.
Chukwudi Daniel Nwodo, 28, was charged at Fareham Police Station following an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
He was arrested in August and was charged yesterday with eighteen alleged tax evasion offences - six for VAT evasion, six for Income Tax evasion and six for National Insurance evasion.
The Nigerian national, who lives in Catisfield Road, Fareham, has been released on bail until October 31 when he is due to appear at Fareham Magistrates' Court.

At last HMRC go for the bigger option instead of harrassing the "ordinary" man for a couple of hundred quid !!!

The article fails to say what the business was, that would be interesting.

According to Mr. Nwodo he structured his company so as to limit his Tax liability. He had calculated his tax to be £60k aprox but HMRC disagree with him and wanted him to pay £140k which of course he refused. As a result the matter will be put forward to court for a judge to decide.
Lets face it, £60k tax from a 28 years old WOW! that is a lot of money compare to people that are not willing to pay anything at all.
I will be very interested to see the outcome from the judge.
