9781846682803: The Taxman Always Rings Twice

Synopsis

The book tells the chilling story of an inquiry into your personal tax affairs by HMRC, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs - a shadowy organisation that used to be called the Inland Revenue until it was merged with Customs and Excise in 2005. Like some tense thriller, with the ever-present possibility of a disturbing if not downright disastrous ending, this is an experience that could inflict stress and anxiety on most people - and one that very few would want to go through on their own.

Written with wit and humour, The Taxman Always Rings Twice looks at the scenario, the script and the characters of this alarming experience. Once upon a time tax inspectors may have written polite letters from musty offices; now they are more likely to knock on doors, many times and in rapid succession. Make no mistake: every taxpayer is liable to an investigation. And HMRC have just announced that there will be many more. If it happens, you need to be prepared. Reading this book is an essential first step to knowing what's involved, what to do (and not to do), who to talk to and who to avoid.
