RBS staff are held in dawn raids over firm's tax scheme | This is Money

Seems to refer to what would have been marketed as a tax avoidance scheme involving film financing.

I'm pretty sure something similar was being pimped on these boards a while back.

Until we know the details of the alledged "evasion", this could just be an attempt by HMRC to yet again blur the distinction between "avoidance" which is legal and "evasion" which isn't.

Unfortunately we have been blindly led into a society where putting out your dustbins on the wrong day (or similar misdemeanours) can lead to a criminal record. Of course, if you're an MP, everything is completely excusable.

hear hear. However most rioters only wanted to upgrade from adidas to nike - as pointed out by news thump

Indeed. I hate HMRC more than tax dodgers themselves. HMRC are petty thieves and even when you prove their crime of theft, they take up to a year, sitting on your interest to pay you back.

Tax dodging scum

RBS staff held in tax fraud investigation - Telegraph

Four current and one former staff member of RBS’s global banking and markets division were arrested at their homes on Wednesday in a series of raids, as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) investigated allegations that City financiers have been using film finance schemes to evade taxes.

The London office of the taxpayer-backed lender’s investment banking unit also was searched in connection with the investigation, which is understood to involve at least two other City banks.

More than 15 people are thought to have been arrested as part of the HMRC probe, which is part of a crackdown on tax evasion.

I do hope they send all the bs to prison.
