This question was answered on 28th November 2017
This Government is clear that everyone has a responsibility to pay the tax that is owed. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) cannot comment on individual cases, but it will investigate any allegations of wrongdoing brought to its attention. Since 2010, HMRC has generated more than £160 billion of additional yield from tackling tax avoidance, evasion and non-compliance.
