In response to Fact-Check Ghana’s questions on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, HMRC stated: “We neither confirm nor deny investigations.”
Colonel Festus Aboagye, a retired security specialist, responded to Fact-Check Ghana’s report from the HMRC by stating that it was unclear.
“Considering how sensitive the issue is, the authorities might not want to endanger any ongoing investigations. It might also imply that they lack sufficient data or supporting proof to categorically support or contradict the assertion.
He is quoted as saying on fact-checkghana.com, “It indicates ambiguity or lack of clarity to acknowledge the uncertainty rather than making a definitive statement without proper evidence.”
It is important to remember that the HMRC is the tax authority of the United Kingdom government, in charge of tax collection, child benefits, customs and tax regulation, and enforcing the minimum wage payment by employers.
The organization claims to be able to unearth even the most intricate and determined frauds and hold those responsible for them accountable, thanks to a variety of powers and specialized investigative capabilities.
In addition to the previously described, it addresses money laundering and international tax crime.
We’ll keep our fingers crossed to see how this plays out and whether the rumors have any merit or not.
