HMRC to Target Electricians

Published on: 16/02/2012

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have announced the latest in a string of initiatives designed to collect more tax.  This initiative, called the Electricians' Tax Safe Plan, focuses on electricians who are not paying the right amount of tax and is similar to the 2011 initiative aimed at plumbers.

The aim is to focus on people who make mistakes in the amount of tax they pay – even though they have taken reasonable care; those who are careless; or those who deliberately don’t tell HMRC about something they should have paid tax on.

It should be stressed that although the letter is going out to 50,000 electricians, HMRC acknowledge that they "do not think everyone who receives a letter owes us tax."
