HMRC pays out 400,000 to tax evasion informants

HM Revenue and Customs has confirmed it paid out more than 400,000 last year to 'informants' in the shape of rewards for notifying them of people who had evaded paying their tax liabilities. A recent Freedom of Information request submitted by The Telegraph found that HMRC distributed 402,160 in 2013 to 'informants' - a 30 per cent increase in the value of these such rewards over the last three years.
