Offences involving VAT fraud, including Carousel fraud, otherwise known as Missing Trader Intra Community Fraud (MTIC Fraud).
Carousel fraud and VAT fraud involve very complex intra company trading arrangements between UK and European Union based companies, involving goods, such as electrical equipment, computer chips and mobile phones. Frauds are often involve a series of companies acting together (conspiracy) to claim back VAT for a none existent or missing trader with a carousel of companies involved - ´carousel fraud´.
