The UK's Paymaster General, Dawn Primarolo this week revealed that nearly £13 million was recovered in the last fiscal year following prosecutions for tax evasion.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, Ms Primarolo announced that in fiscal 2000-01, there were 70 cases of tax evasion prosecuted in the United Kingdom, although two of those were related to tax credit fraud.
In response to a question on how much funding has been allocated by the government to the investigation of tax evasion since Labour came to power, the Paymaster General admitted that she was unable to give a definitive figure:
'For example, there are some sections of offices and even some individuals involved in a spread of compliance activities and it is (therefore) not practical to isolate the funding figures in the way this question has been asked,' she explained.
