How can I find out if someone has been fined for not paying enough tax?

An ex employer of mine has said he is being investigated by the Inland Revenue for not paying enough tariff, and they said he has to pay lb3000 back, how do I find out if this is true.

Ask a Tax Pro You can't find out - everyone's tax affairs are private and HMRC would never reveal this info. How would you like them to give an account other people about your tax affairs?
Its fairly possibly true - if your employer failed to pay over the PAYE he was deduct from you, then HMRC would expect him to pay, plus interest and a penalty.

don't think you can unless he's not been paying your tax I would envisage this kind of information would be confidential. If he was tried in a magistrates or crown court next you would be allowed to watch from the public gallery

This wouldn't travel through a court, it would be "assessed" by tax office, and done through there.
If HMRC enjoy told you liability is being charged on employer, you don't have to worry, even if for some justification (like bankruptcy) he hasn't paid. The charge for your tax is levied on him, not you. This relieves you of the liability. HMRC will not transmit you details of what ex-employer is charged, or what he has to pay, that is subject to the Official Secrets Act.
The just way this could affect you is if, for example, you wanted to claim expenses in employment, and ask for a tariff refund. As you did not pay the tax, no refund can be given out of it.
