Tax barristers and fraud: how the Bar responded to our allegations

Last week we published a report on how a small number of tax barristers facilitate tax avoidance schemes that are, in our view, more properly described as tax fraud. The barristers design the schemes, and/or issue opinions that the schemes work, despite the dismal history of such schemes in the courts over the last 25 […]

Rogue barristers are enabling a billion pound tax fraud – and the Bar won’t act

A small number of KCs and junior barristers are enabling large-scale tax fraud. They do it by providing tax opinions backing schemes designed to “avoid” tax on wages paid to contractors. The schemes have no real technical basis, but the promoters behind the schemes use the opinions as a badge of credibility – and, more […]

Mr Leeds makes an array of claims on social media about how to “pay zero tax” and “learn the tax loopholes that the rich […]

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone may have avoided tax on their £65m PPE profits

During the pandemic, Douglas Barrowman’s company, PPE Medpro, sold £200 million of PPE to the Government. It made £65m profit, which went into trusts benefiting Barrowman and Mone’s families. Most of the PPE was later ruled to breach sterility standards but, rather than repay the money, Barrowman put PPE Medpro into administration. New documents show […]

I’m being sued for £8m for a report on tax avoidance

I am being personally sued for more than £8m by a barrister, Setu Kamal. I believe this is one of the largest English libel claims ever made. Mr Kamal objects to a report we published back in February about a firm called Arka Wealth (which appears to have since gone out of business). In September […]

It uses the attention this attracts to sell a tax avoidance scheme that supposedly lets UK businesses escape UK tax by incorporating in Gibraltar. The scheme is hopeless and will trigger large taxes and penalties – and if not disclosed […]

Why the rich paid less tax in the 1970s – despite 98% tax rates

It’s sometimes said that we should go back to the tax system of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, with very high rates of tax on the highest earners. We’ve spoken to people who were around at the time – both tax avoiders and HMRC officials – and looked at the data. Our conclusion: the apparently […]

Radical anti-avoidance measures hidden in the Spring Statement

It wasn’t mentioned in the Chancellor’s speech, but the Spring Statement papers contain a major suite of anti-tax avoidance proposals, probably the toughest ever introduced. If enacted this will, in effect, criminalise the tax avoidance industry. We welcome it. There is a mini-industry of creating tax avoidance schemes which have no prospect of success. We […]
