## Description

Tax laws don't only apply to those who calculate or manage taxes. They apply to everyone. Although no one likes to pay tax, there is a clear distinction between avoiding tax and evading tax. Tax evasion is the deliberate failure by a person or company to declare, or to under-declare, taxable transactions. The UK Criminal Finances Act 2017 makes it a criminal offence to facilitate tax evasion. Our Preventing the Facilitation of Tax Evasion Course will help your employees understand tax evasion as well as spot and combat this risk.

## Learning Objectives

- Recognise the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance
- Appreciate the measures that our Company has introduced to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion
- Identify red flags that indicate a risk of tax evasion
- Conduct a risk assessment to apply due diligence procedures
- Take action to report suspicions of tax evasion and document those suspicions accordingly
