Unbelievable story here, where a wealthy UK tax cheat didn't submit a return or pay tax for 24 years.
Mr Bloomfield lived at several upmarket addresses in Kensington and Knightsbridge. He left his last known address - a luxury apartment in Hyde Park Gate - without paying the rent.
Mr Bloomfield claimed an offshore company paid his rent and that another company paid for "the use of a Boeing 757, the use of a boat and a helicopter".
Mr Bloomfield told HMRC that, despite his lavish lifestyle, he did not own any property or have any income.
After lengthy investigations it seems HMRC accepted that his money appeared, as if from nowhere, "in a box" and that an HMRC spokesman saying: "We don't talk about identifiable taxpayers. We take a wide range of factors into account when deciding the right course of action." is an adequate explanation for their inaction.
Staggering.
