HM Revenue and Customs wants power to break speed limits

[SupremeSpod]

It's simple. By organised crime they mean any bunch of contractors, or anyone who represents contractors, who wishes to minimise their tax through avoidance, like having a limited company instead of being properly employed. Dawn raids at PCG towers...

HMRC officers were sworn in as special constables to enable them to raid offices of a certain accountancy practice on the Isle of Man.

It's rather amusing (in a twisted way) that HMRC and Government are spending so much effort in blurring the lines between what's legal, moral, evasion, avoidance etc.

Personally I think HMRC is going to mutate into a "Policing" unit.

Which is odd as special constables have no more powers than members of the public.

I think you're getting confused with PCSOs

Wasn't Nigel Mansell a Special Constable? He's probably the sort of person HMRC want in their high speed chases of IR35 avoiding contractor scum.

On the Isle of Man too...

I ended up in the square meal cafe in Birchington today - so read their copy of the sun. They had this story as an exclusive!
