Sharp increase in taxpayers taking 'aggressive' HMRC to judicial review

[GreenMirror]

While you shouldn't have to, you tend to have to be careful hammering big corps for tax in case they foxtrot oscar. If they employ 10,000 staff and engage 2,000 contractors over here, that's a lot of tax into the coffers and 12,000 people not claiming JSA.

If, for example, Starbucks decide to leave, there will be coffee shops who pay their taxes.

Not quite the same as Microsoft. Who might decide to leave anyway due to B*****t.

Though straying off-topic here. HMRC are getting more aggressive. This will affect all of us.

And low rates of tax? Several multi-national companies pay very little.

Non-doms too?

"Adam Craggs, of RPC, said the organisation was under political pressure to increase tax revenues, and this had prompted HMRC’s new approach."

Perhaps they should go after those people paying no tax whatsoever and currently under the rader? Just target a row of shops on any high street and review them.
