Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Revenue and Customs has prosecuted a company formation agent for facilitating money laundering in the UK in the last 10 years.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is not a prosecuting authority and does not collate statistics specifically on investigations or prosecutions involving company formation agents. The number of HMRC employees involved in investigating company formation agents is not available, as HMRC staff would not normally work just on company formation agent cases, and activity statistics are not broken down to this level of detail.

HMRC has a statutory duty of confidentiality and therefore is unable to comment on individual cases.
