HMRC is stepping up its efforts to tackle unpaid taxes with significant new measures. The tax authority is reportedly recruiting 5,000 additional investigators and rolling out advanced data analysis tools powered by artificial intelligence to identify tax discrepancies.
What’s Changing in HMRC Investigations?
HMRC has enhanced its strategies to ensure tax compliance by expanding its data sources and increasing scrutiny. Here’s what they’re focusing on:
- Browsing the internet and social media platforms to identify unreported income.
- Collecting data from the DVLA, Land Registry, Companies House, online selling platforms, banks, and credit card records.
- Using their expanded powers to request more detailed information from individuals and businesses.
These efforts aim to crack down on areas of unpaid taxes, including rental income, online sales, and even breeding animals. HMRC has already sent out waves of voluntary disclosure letters targeting these activities. For example, if you’ve sold a litter of puppies or rented out property—even occasionally—you may need to report this income on your tax return.
What Should You Do Next?
If you’re unsure about your tax reporting obligations or whether your activities require disclosure, now is the time to seek expert advice. Failing to report could lead to penalties or an HMRC investigation.
