Conduct: As a director of Autotechnic (Berkshire) Limited (“Autotechnic”) Ms Dawn Pearce abrogated her responsibilities by failing to ensure Autotechnic submitted accurate company returns for Value Added Tax (“VAT”) which resulted in the company deliberately under-declaring and underpaying VAT. In that: • On 12 September 2018 Ms Dawn Pearce’s co-director submitted a voluntary disclosure to HMRC on behalf of Autotechnic. He stated that the company had been involved in deliberate and fraudulent conduct which had brought about a loss of tax and/or duties. • On 12 November 2020, HMRC described the disclosed inaccuracy as under-declared cash sales and directors’ personal expenses incorrectly claimed as business expenses for VAT periods ending 11/11 to 08/18. As a result of these inaccuracies: • On 2 February 2021 VAT assessments were issued by HMRC for the VAT periods ending 11/11 to 08/18 totalling £37,645.00. • On 5 February 2021 HMRC issued penalty assessments totalling £11,580.20 because of the inaccuracies. • HMRC consider that the behaviour in submitting inaccurate company VAT returns was deliberate. • Ms Dawn Pearce states that she had nothing to do with Autotechnic and her co-director had control of the business. • On the 27 April 2022 Autotechnic was subject to a winding up order following a petition submitted by HMRC for the sum of £148,221.23.
