MTIC (Missing Trader Intra-Community) fraud and VAT (Value Added Tax) fraud offences involve financial gain through the unlawful exploitation of flaws in the areas of UK legislation governing the payment of VAT. On a simple level, VAT fraud can see business owners falsifying invoices in order to either pay less than the total amount of VAT normally due or reclaim too much money from the UK Treasury. On a more complex level, MTIC fraud can see imported goods being sold to a series of companies in order to assist in a fraud.
If all of this makes MTIC fraud and VAT fraud sound somewhat complex to commit, just imagine how complex and lengthy the investigations and trials into such fraud offences can be. Indeed, such longevity and complexity can be highly stressful for anyone who has to endure such an investigation and/or is defending against charges relating to MTIC fraud or VAT fraud.
