‘Compliance managers’ to have discussions with authority’s wealthiest customers in attempt to raise tax revenues

The UK’s tax authority is assigning dedicated “customer compliance managers” to more than 200 billionaires as part of a crackdown meant to raise £500m for the public purse.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said it had for the first time compiled a list of billionaires who are required to pay tax in the UK, regardless of whether they formally live in the country, to tackle a “wealthy tax gap” caused by those who do not pay what they ought.

    That tat you buy from Amazon or eBay is bought from AliExpress and sold at a huge markup, just FYI.

    If you really do need whatever it is, might as well get it from the source.
