"HMRC enjoys draconian powers over taxpayers. Investigations can be started at random, without evidence of wrongdoing. If a “discovery” is made, the previous 20 years of a taxpayers’ finances can come under scrutiny. HMRC can levy hefty fines for offences as simple as late payment - and the burden is on the taxpayer to prove his or her innocence"

Thought only beyond 6 years if fraud suspected when normal rules of proof for criminal proceeding must surely apply. Their own rules only require you to keep records for six years and until fairly recently it was less than that, 22 months after your tax return submission from memory.bloggoth

But if rules require to keep documentation only for 6 years, then clearly the burden of proving anything falls upon them as you can legitimately say that you are not required to offer any documents past that date?Originally posted by The Lone Gunman View PostThats only IR35 investigations.Comment
