Idris Abdullah caused Kamros Cash and Carry Limited in Southall to participate in transactions which were connected with the fraudulent evasion of VAT, which he either knew or should have known about.

The Insolvency Service has banned Abdullah from acting as a director for 11 years after he became involved in the missing trader intra-community (MTIC) VAT fraud related to the sale of alcohol at the cash and carry business. The total unpaid VAT was estimated at £2,450,121.

Over a five-year period between 24 January 2012 and 7 December 2017 HMRC visited Kamros on 37 occasions; as a director, Abdullah was present at nine of these meetings. HMRC also issued a series of verbal warnings, alerting him to the fact that MTIC fraud was occurring.
