HMRC is committed to tackling tax avoidance and evasion at all levels to ensure that everyone, no matter who they are, pays the right amount of tax at the right time. It keeps its policies under constant review, including those affecting public sector bodies. HMRC works closely with public bodies to support them with their tax affairs and ensure they pay the right amount.
