New Deliberate Tax Defaulters Dataset Expands Risk Intelligence

What is Deliberate Tax Defaulters Data?

The new dataset provides visibility into organisations that have been publicly named by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for deliberate tax non-compliance, following formal investigations and the application of civil penalties. HMRC publishes this information as part of its long-standing policy to deter non-compliance and promote transparency.

By incorporating this data into the online platform, Company Watch enables users to identify entities that have been subject to serious tax enforcement action, supporting more informed assessments of financial, governance and reputational risk.

What’s included

Deliberate Tax Defaulters data is presented within the Company Information section of the platform and includes:

• HMRC publication date
• Period of default
• Address at the time of the offence
• Line of business as recorded by HMRC
• Total tax or duty involved
• Total penalties applied

Entities listed by HMRC are also highlighted within the Health Profile as a ‘Red Warning’ notification, ensuring that this information is clearly surfaced alongside other risk indicators.

The data is sourced from publicly available HMRC publications and is updated in line with HMRC release schedules.
