HMRC are at it again!

/ Tax

I’ve touched upon this before but I thought I would mention it again due to recent headlines involving yet again Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs – they love a bit of press don’t they!

As you know they have been granted permission by the Treasury [from 2015] to dip into your bank account and remove money that you owe them. This has obviously not gone down well; especially with certain organisations saying this should not be allowed to be taken forward.

So what’s being done about this? Well an e-petition is being passed from pillar to post urging the government to withdraw its proposal; the public are really up in arms about this. As I said before if they were doing their job properly would they have to go to these extreme lengths? Surely there must be other ways to tackle non-payment from their citizens?

Whether you decide to sign this e-petition is your business but never put yourself in a position where you owe the tax man anything. Get yourself a qualified accountant so this won’t happen but whether you choose AIMS is up to you – but we can guarantee that we will get it right for you.

If you like the way we think – you will like the way we work.
