Do you think the HMRC look at this forum ?

Just wondered if you think the HMRC look at this forum ?

My ex works for the HMRC - I might tell a few stories of what they get up to sometime.

They are not pleasant.

I don't think they're nearly clued up or enterprising enough to look at forums like this, in an official capacity anyway. Quite honestly I doubt it would help them anyway, as most of us are anonymous and tax discussions don't appear very often or reveal anything HMRC wouldn't know already.

Hey, BrilloPad, please tell us a few of those stories. I'm sure everyone would find them very interesting and possibly of practical advantage! For example, do you know if there are thresholds in tax amounts owed which trigger a more aggressive approach to collection and below which they might be content to let it lie for a while?

what usually triggers is high turnover low profits. But i was thinking of other stories - like how they look up celebrity earnings. Not A list overviously - but C list or below. And there is more...

would have thought they'd be a bit to busy these days sending out letters to people who's details they've lost to read forums.

I'd be careful what you posted, I'd say HMRC have a closer eye on this place than you think. If I worked for them it's what I would do - I can't believe that everyone who works for Hector is less bright than me. Also be careful purely becuase this place is open to google.

As long as you didn't say "I am JoBloggs Ltd I am IR35 caught but do £1 salary and £900k divs and don't have an accountant" then I don't think it would matter.

An agent once asked me if I was Sockpuppet from CUK. Woops.

I'll take it none have you have worked in the civil service..

Not that much different from contracting except when you spend all afternoon in the pub the rate sucks.

I doubt whether anyone formally watches this forum. It would indicate a level of competency not usually found with HMRC.
