    ****** gets a new job

    I wonder how this could be allowed to happen? The guy lets companies off millions in tax then accepts a job from them?

    'Sweetheart deal' taxman Dave Hartnett joins accountancy firm Deloitte - UK Politics - UK - The Independent

    This guy needs to be stripped of his government pension

      If the press can whip up a hate frenzy to get Freds knighthood removed for doing what shareholders (and Gordon Brown) wanted, then This bastards head needs to be on a spike by the end of the week.

        Nothing new here. If you saw how many people from the top accountancy firms actually work directly with HMRC (in the same offices), how many senior HMRC people move to senior positions in the financial sector and vice versa then it wouldn't surprise you that the government is being dictated to by the financial sector.
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          A bit like the consultants from the big four plus Crap Gemini and Logicack that 'advised' the Dutch government on drafting its equivalent of IR35?

              Ah yes, the VAR, where you fill in a form from the tax office so civil servants who have never even come closer to running business than playing with a Fisher Price shop till can decide whether you are running a business or working as a 'disguised employee', so that you get a piece of paper with their decision which can be retracted at any time, retrospectively, thus costing you the contract and up to 7 years back taxes and social security contributions, for which you don;t even get any social security rights. Basically, you have to know what answers to give and then just hope. The politicians say it's to protect the bottom end of the employment market being forced into contracting so their employers don't have to give them the full employment rights. Actually, it's a scam to fill up the enormous government debt, and to please consultancies with an uncompetitive business model of big offices, too many middle managers, lots of lease cars and charging high rates to clients.

              Oh, and the expensive **** up that is the centralised Dutch social security operation, which used to be run by cooperatives of business sectors, and countless more.
