Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many notices HMRC have issued to alleged VAT fraudsters on Amazon that have neither responded nor paid any VAT.

HMRC cannot comment on the affairs of individual taxpayers, as it has a duty to maintain taxpayer confidentiality.

However, between September 2016 and 31 March 2018, HMRC has issued a total of 2,048 notices to all online marketplaces.
