HMRC launches 'web robot' to search out tax cheats - 22/06/11
HMRC is to launch a new tax evasion
campaign using "cutting edge" measures to identify people and
businesses who are not paying the right tax. The new measures include "web
robot" software that will trawl the Internet for information on those who
are trading without telling HMRC. So far, some
£600 million has been raised through campaigns inviting people to disclose unpaid tax voluntarily or risk greater fines if they are caught out later.
Industries to be targeted in forthcoming campaigns include private tutors and coaches and those trading through e-marketplaces.
