    Exterminate, exterminate!

    Personally I really cannot believe the Revenue will go after people retrospectively.

    They must be so over-the-moon that they've finally won after all these years of miserable failure they'll be only too pleased to bank all the extra tax flooding in from PAYE. Rather than retreating into the past I suspect they'll be shining the radar for GSK-like attacks on any big lumps of non-compliers. Their new weapons are so much more fun to use to annihilate the scummy evaders.

      Why wouldn't they go after them if they believe they were incorrect all the time? They've got a list of everyone outside that should have been inside. No brainer surely? Off the back of their win they can collect much back tax with little effort. I would.

        I hope not. But HMRC have form in this area.

          To go back to previous contracts HMRC would have to be given lists by the clients because they do not get any information which links a client to a PSC to a director. Not that I can think of. They they might try attacking new umbrella 'employees' but they wouldn't immediately see which of those could be connected to previous assignments (the client won't be reported normally). It would not be straightforward at all to identify targets. For reasons I can't go into, I suspect HMRC would have tremendous difficulty getting the necessary management information.

            I don't know what reasons you know about; but just thinking about what dots would need to be connected, given those dots I wouldn't imagine being in one database, would suggest it unlikely to be easy.

              They’ll need to get a couple of contractors in to link up the data.

                Ha ha maybe; but on a moral\philosophical point if you had the skills to do this, would you actually do it ;-)

                    Does it matter? I just wouldn't do it.
