BIG DRIVE SOON IN BRITAIN TO CHECK ON TAX-EVADERS
LONDON, Nov. 5 (Recd. 6pm).— The “Sunday Dispatch” reports that the Government will soon begin a drive to recover unpaid taxes from the war and post-war years, estimated at least £100,000,003 and possibly £500.000.000. Inland Revenue officials will interview thousands of people who have deliberately rendeyd inaccurate income tax returns during the past ten years and ask them to explain discrepancies. These people range from leading businessmen to small tax dodgers. Some will go to prison and many will have to pay penalties up to three times the amount of the evasion.
