The following article is a chilling read http://www.moneymarketing.co.uk/regulation/treasury-eyes-adviser-role-in-tax-avoidance-crackdown/1055077.article . The powers HMRC are trying to grab are far too intrusive. I would suggest the Government spend more time draft legislation correctly first time and change the law to prevent unintended consequences from poorly drafted tax legislation. In return for this power grab all members of the Government should have their tax details open to examination. It would not surprise me in the least that many people would find their tax arrangements and future tax liability arrangements especially around their inheritance tax planning to be morally questionable.rnrnThis information is intended to provide a general review of certain topics and its purpose is to inform but not to recommend or support any specific investment or course of action.rn
