Blinds Boss Jailed For Tax Offences

Woolwich Crown Court
A self-styled ‘Solar Shading Expert’, who sold blinds for a living, will be out of the sun for a while after being imprisoned for tax fraud.

Paul David Murphy, 55, was a company director with Kent’s ‘New Origin Blinds’.


At Woolwich Crown Court he was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment.


Murphy, of Tarran Cottage, Hook Green Road, Southfleet can expect to be paroled after serving half of that time.


He initially appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court two-and-a-half years ago charged with three counts of fraud by false representation, namely submitting false self-assessment tax returns.


They related to the 2013-14; 2014-15 and 2015-16 tax years.


Murphy was also ordered to pay a £149 victim surcharge.
