eBay/PP accounts in brother's name - HMRC!
Hey guys it's been a while!
So 3 years ago eBay/PP suspended me and instead of getting a stealth account, i just used my brother's eBay account as it was already established somewhat and his PP's. Annual revenue now is about £70K so has built up quite a bit, i've been declaring as a sole trader to HMRC and paying taxes for this business though i'm worried in HMRC's eyes, my brother is the one who should be paying taxes and potentially evading them. The money has always been withdrawn to my personal bank account and more recently my business bank account, does anyone know if HMRC would be likely to investigate him and could i argue that the money ends with me so i'm liable for the taxes? Would make for an awkward family Christmas if it went south.... Any help would be very much appreciated! :D
