Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>So not only have prosecutions of those who enable tax evasion dropped, the HMRC has lied about it when asked via FoI requests....</p><p>The money that could be raised by halting (or radically restricting) tax evasion dwarfs any money refunded by focussing on the small amounts of benefits fraud... but still the HMRC hides behind 'confidentiality' to obscure is lack of real interest in any difficult aspects of tax collection.</p><p>Like the DWP, reform is needed!</p><p>#[politics <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HMRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HMRC</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/30/prosecution-of-people-who-help-clients-evade-tax-in-uk-falls-by-75-in-five-years" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/business/2025/</span><span class="invisible">mar/30/prosecution-of-people-who-help-clients-evade-tax-in-uk-falls-by-75-in-five-years</span></a></p>

Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>MPs on the Public Accounts Comm. have accused the HMRC as not being 'sufficiently curious' about the scope &amp; range of tax evasion;</p><p>one interesting pointer is that before making online platforms liable for the VAT from overseas sellers the HMRC had estimated such evasion was costing around £300m a year; when imposed the tax take increased by £1.5bn (five times as much). </p><p>MPs rightly think this clearly demonstrates the HMRC underestimates evasion &amp; needs to raise its game.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tax</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HMRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HMRC</span></a> <br>h/t FT</p>
