Yasar Hussain

A former Oldham businessman is banned from being a director of a company for another 11 years after carrying out sales connected to a tax fraud committed by customers.

Yasar Hussain, of Schofield Street, Oldham, carried out 20 sales of silver to a Cypriot customer when he was a director at Blu Tech Limited, a company that dealt in the wholesale of metals and metal ores formerly based at Falcon Business Centre in Chadderton.

According to The Insolvency Service, the Cypriot customer however denied purchasing any goods from, or having any contact with Blu Tech.

The service also found that the Cypriot customer had been deregistered for VAT since September 18, 2019.

Despite this Blu Tech continued to make zero rated sales, meaning no VAT was paid, using the deregistered VAT number between May 24, 2019 and October 30, 2019.

Hussain was handed a penalty of £66,857.
