Two Thirds of the 800 biggest businesses in UK under enquiry

HMRC have announced that the majority of the UK's largest businesses are currently under enquiry.

Jennie Granger, Director General of Enforcement and Compliance at HMRC said:

'We are enquiring into two out of three of the largest corporations operating in the UK - many of which are multinationals.

That is not to say that most large businesses are on the make. But it does highlight both the complexity of the international tax system in which they operate and our need to be very actively scrutinising how they negotiate their way through that system.'

HMRC's large business strategy has generated £31 billion in additional revenue over the last four years. Large businesses account for a quarter of the £34 billion estimated tax gap, and contribute around 60% of UK tax receipts.
