The tried to abuse a HMRC scheme to net the six figure sum

A Burnley man whose firm was involved in £170,000 tax scam has been given a 12 year ban from running businesses.

Stoyan Petkov Kostov, of Travis Street, used his Kostov Group company to abuse the Government's Construction Industry Scheme to the tune of the six figure sum. The CIS is run to allow contractors to deduct money from a subcontractor’s payments and pass it to HM Revenue and Customs . These count as advance payments towards the subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance and Kostov registered his firm as both contractor and subcontractor as he claimed more than £170,000 from HMRC. That money was based on payment allegedly received from a third party contractor company between April 2019 and January 2020 but an investigation of bank statements was unable to find any record of these.

According to the Insolvency Service, which issued the 12 year ban, 28-year-old Kostov has failed to deliver up any books and records to support the CIS claims made.

GeCoNet-Tool: a software package for gene co-expression network construction and analysis - BMC BioinformaticsGeCoNet-Tool: a software package for gene co-expression network construction and analysis - BMC BioinformaticsBackground Network analysis is a powerful tool for studying gene regulation and identifying biological processes associated with gene function. However, constructing gene co-expression networks can be a challenging task, particularly when dealing with a large number of missing values. Results We introduce GeCoNet-Tool, an integrated gene co-expression network construction and analysis tool. The tool comprises two main parts: network construction and network analysis. In the network construction part, GeCoNet-Tool offers users various options for processing gene co-expression data derived from diverse technologies. The output of the tool is an edge list with the option of weights associated with each link. In network analysis part, the user can produce a table that includes several network properties such as communities, cores, and centrality measures. With GeCoNet-Tool, users can explore and gain insights into the complex interactions between genes.
