Lord Mendelsohn – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Attorney General

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Mendelsohn on 2014-03-31.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many prosecutions for VAT carousel fraud have taken place in the United Kingdom over the last six years.

Lord Wallace of Tankerness

The records held by the Crown Prosecution Service do not identify the number of prosecutions for fraud cases known as VAT carousel fraud. Such information could only be obtained through a manual search of records which would incur a disproportionate cost.
