Kevin Hubbard, HMRC's director of individuals and small business compliance, said: "The overwhelming majority pay the tax they owe, but for those who refuse, we use a range of tools to take firm action. 'This includes publishing the names of those penalised for deliberate defaults to influence taxpayer behaviour and encourage defaulters to engage with HMRC."
