Brothers sentenced for offshore tax scam

Two brothers, Stephen and Michael Hirst, have been sentenced for a 3.2 million offshore tax scam. The brothers used offshore companies to hide money from the sale of land in Wakefield, to evade tax. They were given the chance to pay what was owed through a Contractual Disclosure Facility but failed to do so.
