Denmark’s tax agency lost a £1.44 billion UK lawsuit over alleged tax fraud, with a judge rejecting all claims and criticizing its weak controls.
Denmark’s tax authority, SKAT, lost a £1.44 billion London lawsuit over alleged cum-ex tax fraud, with a UK judge ruling that none of the 4,000+ claims were valid under Danish law.
The judge criticized SKAT’s internal controls as nearly nonexistent, allowing fraudsters like Sanjay Shah and his former hedge fund, Solo Capital, to exploit timing gaps in European tax systems between 2012 and 2015.
Though Shah was convicted in Denmark, the UK court deemed his testimony unreliable.
SKAT plans to appeal, despite the ruling being called a major setback by legal experts.
The case follows a separate U.S. civil award of $500 million to SKAT.
