Overview of Webinar
The United Kingdom has taken a bold step forward in combating tax fraud. HMRC’s newly launched Strengthened Reward Scheme marks a pivotal moment for whistleblowers—offering substantial financial incentives modeled after the proven U.S. IRS Whistleblower Program.
Under this groundbreaking initiative, individuals who report significant tax avoidance or evasion resulting in recoveries of £1.5 million or more may receive rewards ranging from 15% to 30% of the taxes collected—with no ceiling on potential payouts.
This exclusive webinar convenes leading authorities from HMRC, the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), and internationally recognized whistleblower attorneys to walk you through every aspect of this new program: eligibility requirements, the reporting process, and critical strategies for protecting yourself while pursuing a reward.
