Electronic sales suppression (ESS), also known as till fraud or till manipulation, is a serious issue affecting many businesses. It involves the manipulation of till systems to conceal or reduce the actual value or amount of sales. This can be achieved through misuse of built-in till functions or by installing software specifically designed to suppress sales records.
It is important to note that ESS is classified as tax fraud. If you have created, supplied, promoted, possessed, or have access to an ESS tool, you are involved in ESS. The factsheet from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) provided below will give you a comprehensive overview of the powers they have to identify and combat ESS, as well as the penalties that may be imposed if you are found guilty of such practices. Guidance on electronic sales suppression: Compliance checks: electronic sales suppression ? CC/FS68
Tell HMRC about electronic sales suppression
HMRC is offering an opportunity for those involved in?ESS?to make a disclosure. Early voluntary disclosure could lead to a reduction in financial penalties. Use the ?Make a disclosure about misusing your till system? form to tell HMRC that you?ve been using your till system to reduce your tax bill.
Learn more about HMRC?s approach to fraud and more by following the link: Electronic sales suppression - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
