- Eamon gave a popular lecture for the London Society of Chartered Accountants Taxation
Committee on the subject of handling HMRC.
HMRC is under increasing pressure from the Treasury to maximise
their yield, whilst the rates of VAT remain unchanged. As a result, they have
been adopting an increasingly aggressive approach. There also seems to be a
concerted effort to attack perfectly legitimate tax saving schemes. Resource
constraints mean that routine VAT visits are now rare. You are unlikely to experience
an investigative raid, but, if you do, the damage can be catastrophic.
It is, therefore, essential that you have protocols set in place in
advance, and that you and your staff know what to do. HMRC has very wide powers
of entry, search and seizure!
If you or your client should find yourselves the subject of a raid
by HMRC, they will know their powers - but will you?
The exchange of information between HMRC and other organisations,
both within national boundaries and the EU, was also considered.
