Gerry Small and his wife Mary Small were jailed for years on 26 February 2010 for UK tax offences, despite having children at home aged 10 and 16. Owing £4 million to HMRC Mr Small was jailed for 3.5 years and Mrs Small 2.5 years. The Dungannon couple had evaded tax and VAT by not declaring business income and offshore interest. In this video tax consultant Adrian Huston, a former tax inspector, explains to Bill Jeffrey what made this case unusual. He points out that by admitting to things before HMRC comes knocking people can stay out of jail.
It's quite a sad state of affairs that you're more likely to recieve a higher punishment for fiddling your taxes than you are for dealing drugs or robbery.

Always wondered how people managed to defraud the tax folk of large amounts. This video shows what people can get up to.
