What happened
Kent Police said on 11 November 2026 that two people were charged that day with fraud by failing to disclose information and possession of criminal property (money). The charges follow an investigation into the finances of a business that provides supported living services to vulnerable adults. Police allege that business-related income of more than £1 million was not declared between 1 April 2020 and 1 December 2024, so tax was avoided. Sunil Komolangan, 49, of Margate, and Isabella Komolangan, 44, of Herne Bay, were each charged and have been bailed to appear at Margate Magistrates' Court on 11 December. The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court; no plea was reported.
How the scam works
The pair have been charged and have been bailed to appear at Margate Magistrates' Court on 11 December; they have not been convicted. Kent Police allege that more than £1 million of income from a supported-living business was not declared between 1 April 2020 and 1 December 2024. Other tax-fraud cases reported the same day include a South African trial listing and a Malawi Revenue Authority arrest over an alleged fake tax clearance certificate.
These are allegations. Anyone who thinks they have relevant information should contact Kent Police through official channels, not through numbers supplied in unexpected messages.
A charge is the start of a court process, not the end of one. Reporting should stay with the official facts: the alleged undeclared income, the offences charged, and the 11 December listing at Margate Magistrates' Court.
