HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has developed Web Robot, an advanced search engine designed to track down online VAT evasion.
Web Robot cost £250,000 and became fully operational in March. HMRC estimates the system will allow it to collect an extra £1m a year in tax.
The software, developed in conjunction with the Dutch tax authority, helps to identify internet businesses obliged to register for VAT. A number of overseas tax authorities have expressed an interest in using the system.
