we're all in it together. part 41 [or is it 42?]

[JB40]

Looks like HMRC [her majesty's revenue and customs, or, as we know them, 'tax inspectors'] have been caught bang to rights by a committee of MP's.

the 'cosy relationship' that the committee reported included endless 'meetings' over expensive dinners, countless examples of 'hospitality', all payed for by the corporations who were eventually 'let off' paying billions in tax.

HMRC are denying everything, of course. And they have refused to present any details to the committee about any deals they did with the likes of vodafone and goldman sacs.

the committee have suggested that this could all add up to about 25 BILLION.

I have heard more reliable commentators suggest that britain loses about 40 billion a year in unpaid tax.
