A nan posed as an accountant in a scam potentially worth up to £1.2million.
Lyn Karran submitted fake expenses claims to HM Revenue and Customs on behalf of dozens of clients, swindling the public purse out of at least £300,000 in doing so. The 46-year-old is now beginning a lengthy prison sentence, only days after the birth of her first grandchild.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Wednesday, that the nan ran previously a firm by the name of LK Accounting Services. Between October 2015 and 2017, she acted as an "unauthorised tax agent" - making fraudulent repayment claims for her customers in order to "enrich herself".
