HMRC Reinvestigate HSBC Swiss Files
HMRC stop handing out "sweetheart" deals to large companies or rich individuals and reconsider the favourable settlements offered.
Why is this important?
HMRC wrongly and unfairly applied favourable terms to the settlement of 1,100 individuals/businesses it identified from leaked HSBC Swiss files as having evaded paying tax, even though none of the 1,100 cases qualified for the favourable terms.
Tax evasion is a criminal offence and the favourable terms offered included immunity from prosecution, penalties from 10% of unpaid tax instead of 200% and a claw back period of 10 rather than 20 years.
These favourable terms have cost the British taxpayer up to £100million in tax revenue and the potential of further criminal prosecutions.
However it is not too late. As the rules were wrongly applied the decision to offer favourable treatment can be overturned. We can still recover the correct amount of money owed to help fund our public services.
