HMRC ‘turns focus back’ to tax investigations post-Covid
Research by UHY Hacker Young has shown that the HMRC opened 102,000 compliance investigations in Q1 2021, up 36% from 75,000 in the previous quarter and almost quadruple the low of just 27,000 in the second quarter of 2020
HMRC is turning its focus “back to tax investigations” following a “temporary reallocation of its resources” during the pandemic, according to UHY Hacker Young.
