2,250 tax inspectors in super rich crackdown
Moore Thompson chartered accountants are warning that a crack team of more 2,000 tax inspectors is to be set up by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to target tax avoidance and evasion.
The move was announced by Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander during his speech to the Liberal Democrats’ autumn conference.
Mark Hildred a partner at the firm said “The team of 2,250, with more than 1,000 of these jobs being advertised this month, will target an estimated 350,000 UK residents whose personal wealth exceeds £2.5 million”.
During his speech, Mr Alexander also pushed the coalition Government to increase the income tax threshold from £10,000 to £12,500.
Dismissing suggested tax cuts for the wealthiest, he told the conference: “If we are all in this together, those with the broadest shoulders must bear the greatest burden.
“Fair taxation of the wealthiest is key to our deficit reduction plan. Of course, if a better way can be found to raise money from this group, I will be willing to consider it.
