I was very surprised that GAAR and DOTAS weren't spoken about in any detail on the programme.
Interesting too that HMRC could only purport to having 11 successful cases won against aggressive tax avoidance. Hilarious that 5 of those were from the same family, a taxi business! A complete farce from HMRC, and a circus that the media needs to break down to further expose.

But we’re dealing with a taxpaying population of about 30 million. HMRC puts the figure of the “shadow economy” at 10% of our total tax received. So, aiming to prosecute 1,000 people really is less than useless…Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

And of course one of the biggest elephants (i am aware of) in HMRC's ever so exclusive VIP room is google. Whats to say about that HMRC where's the life changing fines for them and their tax evasion, were they registered with DOTAS (haha). Will HMRC issue an APN under the pretence they have knowingly evaded but not necessarily proven until heard by the upper tier tribunals?

JPC I could not agree with you more! What winds me up is the media feeding people stories about people others see as rich who are making more money (and its so not fair!)
The 2 things they seem to not realise is a: Not everyone who works their tax in these LEGAL ways are rich and b: they never seem to realise that there are LEGAL ways they use to not pay as much tax like JPC said which they do not register as being the same or even think of full stop.
The moral argument is not an argument at all to me if the HMRC/Government allow it then they can't then moan about it. I asked someone once who went down the moral route if they got given 10k and by using a LEGAL tax method they could keep 8k of it rather then 5k would they say no and they avoided answering!Comment
