Apair of Warwickshire brothers have been jailed for a £1 MILLION HMRC tax fraud where they pretended to make three films in the UK. Carl Rees and Craig Rees, aged 52 and 50, were found guilty of submitting fraudulent claims for Film Tax Relief and VAT to HMRC.

The jaw-dropping fraud totalled more than £1m and saw the pair claim the cash for films that were never made in the UK, or at all.HMRC proved in court that the pair had claimed their first film Whispers was made in the UK, when it was an American-made film, while their second film, The Eight, was entirely made up.
