HMRC announces record compound settlement for Russian sanctions breach

HMRC has concluded its largest compound settlement for a Russian sanctions violation, with a UK exporter paying a penalty of £1.16m in May 2025. The settlement addresses breaches of The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/855) committed when the company made goods available to Russia. HMRC noted that this action is part of broader international sanctions that have deprived Russia of US$450bn in funding following its invasion of Ukraine. The notice emphasises that breaches of sanctions may result in significant financial penalties or criminal prosecution, and it advises businesses to ensure strict compliance with sanctions and licensing requirements.
