HMRC has managed to raise a staggering £23.9bn in additional tax by concentrating on Tax Avoidance and investigations.
According to BBC News "HMRC said of the total amount it had raised, more than £8bn came from large business, £1bn from criminals and £2.7bn from tackling avoidance schemes in courts."
£23.9bn extra tax! That's pretty impressive and shows how effective previously big business was from avoiding tax (or how incompetent the system was).
Be interesting to know the full story. I wonder how much money was spent on investigations and legal proceedings to recover the money?
