Britain Taxation

Last year, the existence of a confidential hot line nearly 200 thousand Britons reported tax service to their friends, relatives and colleagues who suspected them of tax evasion.

And, unlike the U.S. or Australia, the UK stukachi do not receive monetary compensation for the surrender of neplatelschikov. For the idea of working, then. At the request newspapers «Times» according to the Law on Freedom of Information Tax Service called the exact numbers of calls to the hotline, e-mails, letters and faxes, as well as forwarding to the Customs hotline.

However, it is difficult to judge the effectiveness of this initiative, because the Treasury has not agreed to inform the «Times» or how many criminal cases have been successfully opened reportedly informants or how much additional tax was recovered as a result.

In February 2007, the tax launched a campaign encouraging employees to knock on their employers, which they suspected of not paying taxes and paying for sotsstrah. Then the director of the Tax Intelligence explained this by saying that «the non-payment of taxes and payments by employers to sotsstrah affected not only public pensions of employees, but also of other social benefits, such as disability benefits and unemployment benefits. If the employer does not pay taxes honestly, he deceives his law-abiding workers. »

However, as we have already reported, the Tax Service has demanded additional powers and penalties to recover money from neplatelschikov in order to achieve budgetary savings and efforts to prosecute some 200 thousand people a year. The document, released last month, the tax proposed to withdraw money directly from the accounts neplatelschikov if other measures to recover the taxes have not been successful.
