BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, NHS re-joiners targeted by promoters of tax avoidance schemes
HMRC should be constantly on the lookout out for new schemes, and taking action immediately. Even if they can't legally shut the schemes down, they should request lists of users from the promoters (which I'm sure they have the power to do), and then write to each user warning them, in no uncertain terms, that they are risking their future.
If HMRC don't get more proactive, they'll need another retro charge in a few years time to clean up the latest mess.
