Hartnett Joins Deloitte

I see that Dave Hartnett has been given permission to join Deloitte (albeit on a part time basis). I seem to recall that Hartnett has in the past criticised Deloitte for tax related issues.

Here is a link to the letter giving permission.

Deloitte New Appointment announced May 2013 Mr Hartnett sought permission to accept a part-time role with Deloitte, which will involve providing advice to overseas tax administrations and governments. When considering the application the Committee noted that Mr Hartnett’s appointment with Deloitte would involve supporting the development of tax administrations in other countries. It was also noted that whilst working in Government, Mr Hartnett did have official dealings with Deloitte, and that he also dealt with a wide range of major accountancy and law firms during his time in HMRC and the Inland Revenue before that. The Prime Minister has accepted the Committee’s recommendation that the application be approved subject to the conditions that he: - should not draw on any privileged information available to him whilst in Crown service; - has no involvement in either a representative or advisory capacity for any taxpayer that he has been involved with whilst at HMRC; - is not involved whilst engaged by Deloitte in any work considering how UK taxation, for any of their clients, can be mitigated or avoided; - has no involvement in negotiation or management of contracts with HMRC; - has no involvement in discussions with other fiscal authorities of UK’s confidential tax policy where he has been involved in that area of work in HMRC; and - does not become personally involved in lobbying Government on behalf of his new employer for two years from his last day of service.

Tax does have to be taxing.
