Chippy worker and Indian takeaway named and shamed as Sutton tax defaulters
HM Revenue and Customs releases these reports every three months, naming businesses and individuals caught deliberately filing incorrect tax returns or failing to meet their tax obligations.
Those listed face penalties for intentionally underreporting income, missing payments, or otherwise avoiding their tax responsibilities.
Aowlad Kabiri, trading as 'Ayshea Tandoori' at 57 Lind Road in Sutton, was fined a total of £26,034.27 after £54,809 in tax went unpaid between July 1, 2020, and October 30, 2023.
Manuel Cilio Gomes Faria, the Fish R Us employee at 17 The Market, Wrythe Lane in Carshalton, was fined a penalty of £151,598.94 after failing to account for £333,184.50 in tax from June 1, 2011, to September 6, 2018.
Tax defaulting occurs when an individual or business fails to pay the taxes owed to the government.
This can be due to not reporting all income, missing tax payments, or deliberately evading taxes.
Those caught can face financial penalties, additional charges, and potentially legal proceedings.
Earlier this year, Chancellor Rachel Reeves gave her Spring Statement, explaining the government's plans to help the economy recover and manage finances carefully.
She stressed that it is unfair for some people to avoid paying taxes while hardworking people continue to pay what they owe.
The Chancellor said: 'As I promised in the Autumn, this statement does not contain any further tax increases.
'But when working people are paying their taxes while still struggling with the cost of living, it cannot be right that others are still evading what they rightly owe in tax.'

Plans to convert vacant upper floors into flats rejected over lack of noise reports
Plans to convert vacant upper floors into flats have been rejected. The proposal was for the change of use of the first and second floors of a building on Charles Street, Newport, into two self-contained flats. However, Newport City Council refused the application due to several key issues. The main reasons for refusal included inadequate information on the internal noise levels and natural ventilation within the city centre location. The application did not include a noise assessment, which is a requirement under certain policies and guidelines. The proposal was also deemed to have failed in demonstrating the delivery of sustainable development. This was due to insufficient mitigation for affordable housing, which goes against specific planning obligations and policies. The site in question is a three-storey mixed-use property with a commercial ground floor and currently vacant upper floors. The building is located in a town centre conservation area and opposite a Grade II listed building. The proposed changes included a two-bedroom flat on the first floor with a combined kitchen and living area and a bathroom. The second floor and loft area were to be converted into another two-bedroom flat with a separate lounge, kitchen, and bathroom. However, the size of the second flat was found to be marginally below the standard. The application also included a proposal for a rear roof plane Velux rooflight, but this was not detailed sufficiently in the submission. The principle of the development was considered acceptable in terms of reusing vacant upper floors in a sustainable location. However, the lack of a noise insulation or impact assessment, given the city centre location and the late-night use of the ground floor commercial units, was a critical failure. The Highways Authority also objected to the proposal due to the missing cycle storage details. No off-street parking was included in the proposal, but this was deemed acceptable. The application was made by C Peters and was considered under national and local planning policies. The planning application, numbered 25/0317, was refused on August 11, 2025. Despite no objections from Welsh Water and the waste manager finding the waste collection arrangements acceptable, the application did not receive any public representations.

Disabled campaigner takes on M&S over ‘discrimination' at York store
A disabled campaigner from York has taken on Marks and Spencer after alleging she was discriminated against at a city store – and won. Flick Williams, a visually impaired wheelchair user, described the case as a 'David and Goliath fight' which showed 'disabled people don't have to just sit back and accept discrimination'. An M&S spokesperson told The Press it is 'committed to making our stores accessible to all our customers' and is 'grateful for Ms Williams' engagement on how we can continue to improve accessibility in store'. Ms Williams' legal action against the supermarket giant followed a visit to the M&S food hall at the Vangarde Centre last June. She said she had arrived at the store to shop for herself and her 91-year-old mother but found a refurbishment had resulted in the chiller cabinets becoming enclosed and behind closed doors.

'I could not even find the items I wanted because the doors were misted up,' she said. 'And then trying to open the doors proved impossible as I couldn't manoeuvre my wheelchair, pull the door and reach in all at the same time. I ran out of arms!' Ms Williams said she tried to locate a member of staff to assist, then found that the store's customer service desk had been removed during the refurbishment. 'I was frustrated that there was nobody available to help me, so I left the store without being able to make a purchase,' she said. Ms Williams said M&S told her the new cabinets had been introduced to make them more energy efficient. She said the company had also suggested she phone the M&S store in advance of her next shopping trip to ensure there would be a member of staff to help her. But the disability rights campaigner said she 'couldn't accept that'. 'Non-disabled people aren't expected to telephone in advance of going shopping which makes it discriminatory. 'The failure on the part of this food retailing giant was not to properly consider the needs of all their customers in their plans.' Flick Williams outside the M&S food hall at the Vangarde Centre in York (Image: Flick Williams) Ms Williams took legal action against M&S under the Equality Act 2010, which she said has now been settled out of court. She said the Vangarde Centre store has now made 'significant improvements' by lowering the handles on chiller doors and treating the doors to prevent them misting up. M&S also gave assurances that staff would be available to assist customers, she said. Ms Williams shared the incident on X (formerly Twitter) at the time and it received 11,000 likes and more than 300 replies. 'I was overwhelmed by the response,' she said, adding that the replies showed 'this was an issue affecting many people's ability to shop independently as they always had done. And that strengthened my resolve to seek legal redress.' 'We can and will challenge unfair practices,' says campaigner She continued: 'It was a David and Goliath fight that shows disabled people don't have to just sit back and accept discrimination, we can and will challenge unfair practices. 'I'm delighted that the changes to the store resulting from my case have removed some of the barriers that made it unreasonably difficult for many to shop there.' The M&S spokesperson said: 'We are committed to making our stores accessible to all our customers, and work with AccessAble to help us do that with access guides covering inside and outside our stores. 'We always strive to ensure colleagues are on hand to help every customer and we always take customer feedback on board. 'We're grateful for Ms Williams' engagement on how we can continue to improve accessibility in store.'

Baleba transfer: Manchester United's decisive move could lead to huge twist
Manchester United's first-team landscape was full of doom and gloom last season, as the Red Devils recorded their lowest ever league finish. However, Ineos have made a statement of intent by signing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko ahead of the new season. United's financial might definitely played a part in these transfers. However, the players' desires were equally influential in making their respective moves possible, as the trio snubbed several Champions League clubs to join Ruben Amorim's project. Baleba wants to join Man United According to TEAMtalk, Mbeumo and Cunha 'had their heads turned' after United knocked on Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers' doors. It is claimed, United are 'confident' that Carlos Baleba 'has undergone a similar shift in mindset.' Early this week, the Red Devils contacted Brighton & Hove Albion to explore the conditions of a deal for the 21-year-old midfielder. Brighton are reluctant to sell Baleba this summer. Still, there is a belief the Cameroonian prodigy, whose profile 'aligns perfectly with the midfield system that' Amorim is likely to implement, wants to join the Mancunians. Earlier today, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United held talks with Baleba's representatives, and they have already received the 'green light' from the Brighton star. Accordingly, despite Brighton's stance, United do not believe it would be impossible to sign the dynamic midfielder. Things might change quickly if Baleba pushes for an exit. Man United keen on raising funds for further reinforcements Further, the Premier League giants are thought to be undeterred by Brighton's £100m valuation of Baleba. It is fair to assume United would attempt to offload a number of their fringe players before considering testing Brighton's resolve. They are currently in negotiations with Chelsea over a deal for Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentina international is valued at £50m. United are also determined to get rid of Jadon Sancho and Antony. The Brazilian has attracted interest from several clubs, but he is desperate to reunite with Real Betis, who have so far shown little desire to sign him permanently.
