      Don't you mean abuse?

        No I don't.

        The Inland Revenue and the Customs & Excise are 2 separate entities merged into HMRC.

        As I said in a separate post the Inland Revenue (Corp Tax, IR35 etc) are a bunch of bowler hatted jobsworths who can hardly find their arses with their own hands. The Customs and Excise (VAT, Excise duty, etc) are a bunch of efficient ruthless bastards who have had rogues and smugglers shooting at and generally trying to kill them for centuries.

        I like the VAT man - you treat him right, he'll treat you right.

        Try to diddle him and he'll come after you with a red hot poker.

        People need to be aware that the pen-pushing, bureaucratic Inland Revenue arm has (only just) appropriated the powers of the land from the Customs and Excise guys who know how to use it properly.

        Unlike the CE*, the IR do not treat the law with respect - they are using it as a threat to bully and intimidate. This might well back-fire on them.
