Tax Dodger Campaign Successful for UK PLC

According to the Beeb, A crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion by people who HM Revenue & Customs call "mass affluent" netted 60% more money in 2014.

So HMRC has a dept called the Affluent Unit. I wonder if they have a broke dept

Interestingly I see HMRC used Pinsent Masons to compile the report, who if you have ever had a run in with Getty Images, may know the name as they handle Getty UK copyright infringements.

Not to be trifled with! I wonder if they will take up the role as debt collectors?

I wonder how much HMRC owes? As the left hand never seems to know what the right hand is doing.

Thanks,

I love it, does HMRC pay tax? Assume they must at least have a huge NI bill with all those employees. Or is the civil service exempt?

No, civil servants are not exempt. It may seem a bit ridiculous for the state to pay tax to itself, but that's the way it is! Maybe it's to show that they are part of the system, just like we all are.
