Crackdown on online sellers
Tax inspectors last month raided warehouses and seized more than £500,000 of goods they suspect were illegally being offered to UK online shoppers at VAT-free prices, in response to evidence of a large and growing fraud by sellers using Amazon and eBay. Treasury Minister David Gauke told MPs there were now more than 75 live investigations into this kind of suspected VAT fraud and said that the number would double by April.
