Lifetime Brands Europe Ltd, a Birmingham-based wholesale distributor of homeware goods and a subsidiary of Lifetime Brands Inc. $LCUT, has emerged as the most significant corporate name on Ireland’s latest tax defaulters list. The company was found to have underdeclared €777,606 in value-added tax (VAT), resulting in a total liability of €1,115,755, inclusive of interest and penalties. The Revenue Commissioners’ review of the company’s financial activity revealed systemic inaccuracies in VAT reporting. While no criminal proceedings were cited, the public listing reinforces Ireland’s strategy of naming high-value offenders as a deterrent to tax evasion.
