UK arrests five for selling 'dodgy' point of sale software
Tax authorities from Australia, Canada, France, the UK and the USA have conducted a joint probe into"electronic sales suppression software" – applications that falsify point of sale data to help merchants avoid paying tax on their true revenue.[PDF] from the Joint Chiefs of Global Tax Enforcement , states that the probe"resulted in the arrest of five individuals in the United Kingdom who allegedly designed and sold electronic sales suppression systems internationally.
"So what might happen is that the customer orders a $60 steak and a $100 bottle of wine," Ford explained, at which point the software changes the transaction so it is recorded in the point of sale system as"a $10 bowl of chips and a $4 bottle of soft drink." The J5's statement about its probe asserts that ESS originated in the UK, and the developers of the naughtyware later exported it to the USA and elsewhere.
