About the Seminar

HMRC is proposing to tighten the screws on the taxpayers who pay for everything. They are seeking unprecedented powers which would make them prosecutor, judge and jury, without appeal to the courts. Hyper-honest persons who have made perhaps unnecessary DOTAS disclosures will now be penalised for having done so. Close Companies, Partnerships, Workers under Contractor and other arrangements, Trusts and Estates and home-owners are all specifically targeted in recent and proposed changes.

A panel of five barristers, all practising from Tax Chambers, Lincoln’s Inn, will advise tax planners how best to cope in the new environment.
