A fraudster enjoyed 52 holidays in nine years and spent £30k on his golf hobby thanks to swindling more than £1m from tax authorities.
Nicholas Duffy, 59, made false VAT repayment claims through his company Market Mobility, which specialised in mobility aids.
Duffy, from Worcester Road, Bootle, claimed nearly £1.4 million from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over a nine-year period from 2010 to 2019, with the money being used to fund his love of holidays, football and golf.
