Tackling tax avoidance, evasion and other forms of non-compliance
20 March 2019
Alongside the Spring Statement a policy paper was published setting out the government’s approach and achievements in tackling tax avoidance, evasion and other forms of non-compliance.
This government has introduced over 100 measures to tackle tax avoidance, evasion and other forms of non-compliance since 2010 which, alongside HMRC’s compliance work, have secured and protected an additional £200 billion in tax revenue which would otherwise have gone unpaid.
This success demonstrates the government’s continued efforts to address tax avoidance, evasion and noncompliance in all its forms
The policy paper ‘Tackling tax avoidance, evasion and other forms of non-compliance’ outlines HMRC’s strategy and approach to compliance for different taxpayers, details the government’s record in addressing areas where risks of non-compliance have been identified and provides a summary of the government’s record of investment in HMRC and its commitment to further action. The paper is split into three chapters:
-
HM Revenue and Customs’ strategic approach
-
The government’s approach to addressing tax avoidance, evasion and other forms of non-compliance
-
Investment in HM Revenue and Customs and a commitment to further action
