CWA RESPONDS TO CHANCELLOR'S SPRING STATEMENT
26/03/2025
Gordon Balmer, Executive Director of the Car Wash Association responded to the Chancellor's Budget:
"We welcome the Chancellor's announcement that HMRC will crack down on unpaid fines. Illegal hand car washes have for too long been flouting regulations and ignoring the corresponding fines with impunity. HMRC has let this go totally unenforced, leaving millions of pounds uncollected and allowing criminals to profit at the expense of law-abiding, taxpaying businesses.
"These measures will be welcomed by compliant car wash operators across the country, but we will have to wait to see if any action is actually taken."
