Andras Juhasz, who's 40, admitted to assaulting two HMRC officers at his home on Kinderley Road in Wisbech on the 10th December last year.
The tax officials were at his home to carry out a search warrant.
When the officers knocked a woman answered but, realising who they were, Juhasz tried to shut the door in their faces.
The officers managed to get into the home and struggled with Juhasz who spat and headbutted one of the officers.
He was eventually restrained and put in handcuffs.
As Juhasz calmed down, the officers attempted to get him into their vehicle but he then headbutted the second officer.
Juhasz pleaded guilty to two counts of assault by beating, and two counts of assault on an emergency worker.
He was given a three month prison sentence suspended for a year at Peterborough Crown Court on Monday 22nd February.
Sergeant Jamie Cooper said: "Juhasz's actions were completely unacceptable.
"People should be able to go about their lawful work without being subjected to violence.
"We take violent incidents of this nature very seriously and will do all we can to bring offenders before the courts."
