Information about stop notices


Stop notices are one of the ways in which HMRC tackle tax avoidance and those responsible for promoting it.

The main aim of issuing stop notices is to reduce the number of tax avoidance schemes that are being marketed. This makes it harder for people to get caught up in them.

When HMRC issues a stop notice to a promoter, it means:

• the promoter who receives the notice must stop selling the specified scheme
• the promoter who receives the notice must also pass a copy of it to certain associated persons, who are also subject to the stop notice and must also stop selling the specified scheme
• all those persons subject to the notice must inform HMRC of all the people they have promoted the scheme to and any they continue to promote it to
• the persons subject to the stop notice must inform all clients and intermediaries that they are subject to a stop notice, what this means, and provide them with a copy of the stop notice

If a promoter fails to comply with a stop notice they can face penalties of up to £100,000 which can increase to up to £1 million in certain circumstances.

List updated, with some notable additions this time.

Wow. It's absolutely appalling that after all this time it's still attractive to low life to run tax avoidance schemes. So many of them and I guess there's many more not yet made it on to the list. There must still be a lot greedy and/or gullible people out there taking up their offer.

Lovely to see AML and Charteris on the list.

Also to add:

We have published details of 3 schemes that have been supplied and/or promoted by AML Tax (UK) Limited:

Is there a list of Accountants who have operated tax avoidance schemes?

Perhaps you would like to share the name of your accountant - or if not, check them on CoHo - to see if they are linked to companies that operated avoidance schemes.
