HMRC Target Doctors and Dentists

Health Care Republic reports that Dave Hartnett has warned that HMRC is currently targeting doctors and dentists.

Speaking at a roundtable discussion about HMRC's Tax Health Plan (THP) last week, Hartnett said:

"A common feature of all our campaigns is that they address a sector or a group where there is a serious tax risk.

There is no particular reason why doctors and dentists are first.

We've risk assessed doctors and dentists and we've found there is a material level of non-compliance in various ways."

Seemingly HMRC have obtained data that suggests to Hartnett that the problem for this group was bigger than HMRC had first thought.

I guess that doctors and dentists have nothing better to do than look forward to a protracted battle with HMRC over the coming months. Attending to patients will have to take second place.

Tax does have to be taxing.
