 PERRIN:CROOKED ACCOUNTANT TO PAY BACK £809,000 OR FACE 3 YEARS JAILLUTON, BEDS; PINNER, MIDDSX
Ana accountant who taunted Revenue inspectors with his own version of the Gloria Gaynor classic 'I will Survive' has been ordered to pay back £809,000 or face another three years in jail.
David Perrin, 47, used profits from the £5million tax scam to jet off on luxury holidays and buy sports cars and exclusive homes.
The former Inland Revenue official exploited the charitable donations of the rich and famous for five years, offsetting their 40 per cent higher rate tax liabilities to grab a slice of the profits.
Hundreds of wealthy and well-known subscribers rushed to try and effectively wipe out their tax liabilities on £213m of income by investing in four Channel Islands Stock Exchange (CISX) listed companies linked to Perrin.
