Declarations
: The author was employed by HMRC at the time of research and continues to be employed by them, although is currently on a career break and is therefore not currently receiving a salary from HMRC. HMRC were given opportunity to comment on the manuscript, but only on the grounds of factual inaccuracy or threats to security.
: The original research that underpins this paper was approved by University College London's Research Ethics Committee. The data contains personal information including about people potentially belonging to vulnerable populations and – by nature of using pre-existing law enforcement records – involved unwitting participants. Consequently, measures to protect participants’ confidentiality and anonymity were key. I ensured personal information did not leave secure HMRC systems and anonymised the data that was extracted and entered into the coding template.
