DISHONEST TAX AGENTS
28 March 2013
As from April 2013 new legislation will allow HM Revenue & Customs to address dishonest conduct by tax agents and issue civil penalties.
From 1 April 2013, new legislation will allow HMRC to:
investigate dishonest conduct by tax agents charge civil penalties publish the details of tax agents who have acted dishonestly
HMRC has worked closely with the professional bodies to develop this legislation which contains many safeguards and checks. These include tribunal approval for a file access notice, the right of appeal against some of HMRC's decisions, and that key decisions must be authorised at a senior level.
Introducing this legislation will help HMRC protect the majority of honest, professional tax agents.
Full guidance about how HMRC aim to deal with Dishonest Tax Agents is available at HMRC’s website.
