A new grandma ‘cried in the dock’ after she was jailed for posing 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 Echo reported.
The 46-year-old is now beginning a four-and-a-half year prison sentence, only days after the birth of her first grandchild. The nan previously ran a firm by the name of LK Accounting Services, Liverpool Crown Court heard on September 7.
Between October 2015 and 2017, she acted as an "unauthorised tax agent" - making fraudulent repayment claims for her customers in order to "enrich herself".
