Wakey, wakey - seems like HMRC may have finally woken up!
Daily Telegraph: MPs' expenses: new inquiry into MPs' tax affairs
Seems like HMRC has finally woken up and is considering investigating MP tax affairs. Don't hold your breath though - HMRC only goes after the little guys as they do not have the resources to defend themselves. I can imagine the meetings in HMRC - but are MP's supposed to pay tax? I thought they were exempt. Perhaps we ought to clean up HRMC as well as MP's. First, they can start by closing down the special unit that deals with MP tax affairs - lets face it they haven't been doing much recently. Secondly, they can publish their own expenses on the internet - if they don't then I suspect, when they let the case fails, the public may also feel that HMRC have their hands in the till as well.
