One address and 85,000 companies: Welcome to Shelton Street!
As per The Times according to Companies House, just over 22,000 new companies were incorporated at 71-75 Shelton Street last year: an average of almost 90 companies for each working day.
On the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) list of named tax avoidance schemes, promoters, enablers and suppliers, many of the 246 companies named are, or were, registered at one of the three mass registration addresses. Seventeen firms are tied to 71-75 Shelton Street.
Dan Neidle, the founder of Tax Policy Associates, a think tank, set up a fraud-finding tool this year designed to help uncover suspicious UK companies. Searching by address, mass registration addresses generate a high number of hits. At 71-75 Shelton Street, for example, there are 40 results.
HMRC need to take a look at this place!

Someone recently arrested might sing like a canary.

Anyone at HMRC been arrested?
DeleteGood question. An FOI about the criminal convictions, cautions and police reprimands of HMRC would be eye opening - and that would only reveal the ones actually brought to justice for their behaviour. Interesting times ahead, get the popcorn ready.
Delete@12:57 Nah they have immunity from arrest and prosecution
DeleteThere was a bloke in the Watford office years ago who'd been stealing BK27 costs (fees paid when HMRC levied distraint) and, thanks to the amoral union, he actually kept his job 😲 🫨 Go fathom!!
Delete@06:31 So an HMRC employee was stealing BK27 costs - payable by defaulting taxpayers after distraint initiated in my day - and was kept in post by HMRC Management.
DeleteThat just about sums up HMRC: rotten
Wow, it must have been a full moon yesterday.
Delete@12.57. Arrested for what? Anything in particular, or just breathing.
@13.56. Why not try putting in an FOI request yourself. It's really quite easy, you just go online, type out the question and press 'send'. Although I realise that might be too much of an effort for you. Much easier to post drivel on here.
@15.25. They don't have immunity from prosecution. Never have had, and never will. But you already knew that, of course.
@14:15 How about arresting and prosecuting people such as the scumbag highlighted above, a criminal who was not even sacked for stealing book 27 levy costs? Now why wouldn't HMRC have supported a prosecution, and why didn't they sack him?
DeleteHow about all the other alleged unlawful conduct (often talked about on here) which goes unchecked inside HMRC?
@14:15 It's well known internally that the HMRC communications team post on here and other sites. Could that be you.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Delete@06:46. If the story is true, and that's a very big if, then the person involved should have been sacked and prosecuted. Certainly during my time in the department and it's predecessor anyone behaving like that had the book thrown at them. I'd like to know much more about this case - I think the phrase "amoral union" may give a clue as to the poster's reliability.
Delete@10:35. Get real. Nobody I know who still works in HMRC even knows that this site exists.
@11:48 Wow, you think HMRC doesn't know this site exists? Even though we see numerous current and former employees commenting on here. Wow, you keep taking those pills...comms team shill, lol 😂🤣😂🤣🤭
