The enigma that is HMRC

dimanche 31 janvier 2016

I'm at a bit of a loss.
I got my own tax assessment in on time, or was going to get a fine. I'm self-employed with about a £30,000 turnover per year.

BUT, with recent happenings in my mind, it has brought things into focus a bit for me.

Questions :

How much inheritance tax did Maggie Thatch's family pay ? Oh, wait , that was all in off-shore companies

How much inheritance tax did David Cameron pay from his parents ? Oh, hang on a minute, let me guess,....

How much tax do you think the Blair family pay ? Call me cynical, but I'm guessing it's less than me

Lewis Hamilton,...resident of Monaco ?

Harry Rednapp,..taken to court for tax evasion for hiding over £1M in Monaco.
His defence was "ohhh, I forgot",,..and bvgger me, he got away with it. How ?

Then Google.

This Sunday I had an informed discussion with an ex employee of HMRC. He was on the investigative team, gaining evidence for prosecution against (multi-) national companies.
He said it was very frustrating. On many occasions he had enough evidence to bring cases to court, when he was suddenly called into his boss's office and told to 'drop the case' (no reason given)

Does anyone else feel they are being sh1t upon by idiots with inherited power/wealth ?
