This factsheet contains information about the Managing Serious Defaulters (MSD) programme and when we may monitor the tax affairs of people who deliberately get them wrong.

This factsheet is one of a series. For the full list, see HMRC compliance checks factsheets.

About the Managing Serious Defaulters programme

The Managing Serious Defaulters (MSD) programme is for customers we find to be deliberately non-compliant in their tax affairs. Once we place you on the programme, we closely monitor all aspects of your tax affairs. Your tax affairs are monitored for a minimum period of between 1 and 5 years depending on your circumstances.

This way, we can make sure of the following:

• your tax affairs are up to date
• you take reasonable care to get your tax affairs right in the future

If we are satisfied that we no longer need to closely monitor your tax affairs, we바카라 사이트™ll tell you this in writing.

What we mean by 바카라 사이트˜deliberate non-compliance바카라 사이트™

We consider that you바카라 사이트™re deliberately non-compliant if:

• we charge you a penalty because of your deliberate behaviour
• during a Civil Investigation of Fraud, we identify you as presenting a continuing high risk to HMRC
• you are successfully prosecuted by the Director of Revenue and Customs Prosecutions, or another prosecuting authority, for a tax matter
• we charge you a Civil Evasion penalty for dishonesty
• you are required to give, and have given, security to HMRC as a guarantee against potential future default
• an insolvency practitioner has successfully recovered money or assets on our behalf
• you are required to pay, or have paid, a financial security

What you must do as part of the programme

As part of the programme you must:

• fill in a full tax return, not a 바카라 사이트˜short바카라 사이트™ one
• give detailed breakdowns of your business expenses and fill in the balance sheet entries
• make sure all your tax returns are accurate and submitted on time
• make all payments to us on time
• make any registrations on time

We바카라 사이트™ll carry out regular reviews to make sure you do this.

How we바카라 사이트™ll monitor your compliance

As well as making sure that you바카라 사이트™ve met your obligations, we바카라 사이트™ll review your tax returns more closely.

We바카라 사이트™ll also carry out further reviews to check that you바카라 사이트™ve put right any previous mistakes. We can monitor your tax affairs in a variety of ways. These will vary depending on whether or not you run a business.

They may include:

• making announced or unannounced inspection visits to check your business records or assets relating to your current accounting period
• carrying out a rigorous compliance check into all or any part of your tax affairs

We may charge you additional penalties or take criminal proceedings against you if we find either of the following:

• you have continued to deliberately or dishonestly get things wrong
• you get out of paying what you owe
