Originally posted by Freelancer View PostFYI - in the Isle of Man press today there is a story that last Weds 29 September Police Officers from the IOM Financial Crime Unit raided premises connected with Montpelier Tax Consultants of Fernleigh House, Douglas and 'seized a quantity of material' as part of an ongoing HMRC investigation into "suspected fraudulent tax avoidance schemes". Similar raids took place in the UK and one arrest was made (in the UK).

Originally posted by Vallah View PostThat's completely out of order. You accused me of lying and spreading untruths, and now you've been shown up you're accusing me of working for HMRC! NOTHING could be further from the truth, I live on the IOM and work for an EBT provider, as Donkey Rhubarb will be able to vouch for.Comment

:: Manx Radio :: The Isle of Man's Premier Radio Station ::
"Police say they raided addresses in Douglas last week as part of a United Kingdom investigation into tax avoidance. The Island's Financial Crimes Unit says it seized a large amount of material but made no arrests during the operation. Thirty officers executed search warrants at three addresses, which are said to be both commercial and residential properties.
"Police say they were providing assistance under the Island’s Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the UK and the operation was part of a criminal probe by the UK’s Revenue and Customs Agency into suspected fraudulent tax avoidance schemes.
"Detective Chief Inspector John Mitchell says because the investigation is ongoing, no more details are being released at this time. The evidence gathered by the Manx force will be passed to Revenue and Customs in the UK to be used in its inquiries. The search warrants were approved by the Attorney General’s Chambers and subsequently authorised by the High Court of the Isle of Man."Comment

HMRC dirty tricks?
It wouldn't surprise me if HMRC simply concocted the suspicion of fraud because it was the only way they could request the IoM Financial Crime Unit to raid Montp's head office.
I also wonder if the timing of this, just 4 weeks before the CoA, is merely a coincidence.

Perhaps it would similarly be wise if you didn't post on the basis of speculation and rumour, no matter how well-intentioned.
There are many stressed-out people reading this forum whose livelihoods and marriages are in the balance, and to whom gossip is not helpful. Substantiated facts would be much more palatable.Comment
