HMRC define individuals as ‘wealthy’ if they have incomes of £200,000 or more, or assets equal to or above £2 million in any of the last 3 years. There are approximately 800,000 wealthy customers.

Wealthy customers are managed by the Wealthy Team within HMRC’s Customer Compliance Group. Further information about HMRC’s compliance approach for Wealthy customers can be found here
