28Tax evasion is seeking to pay [blank_start]less[blank_end] tax than is due by [blank_start]deliberately[blank_end] misleading [blank_start]HMRC[blank_end] or it is [blank_start]suppressing[blank_end] information to which [blank_start]HMRC[blank_end] is entitled or it is providing [blank_start]HMRC[blank_end] with [blank_start]false[blank_end] information

29Tax avoidance is not [blank_start]defined[blank_end], but it is any [blank_start]legal[blank_end] method to [blank_start]reduce[blank_end] tax burden. It is not always be [blank_start]effective[blank_end] at saving tax. [blank_start]Anti-avoidance[blank_end] legislation is introduced to close legal '[blank_start]loopholes[blank_end]' which taxpayers make use of. They have recently introduced certain [blank_start]tax avoidance[blank_end] schemes must be disclosed to HMRC. [blank_start]Courts[blank_end] have struck down some planning schemes by ignoring elements of [blank_start]transactions[blank_end] which have no [blank_start]commercial[blank_end] purpose.

31Causes of penalties include: failure to notify [blank_start]HMRC[blank_end] of [blank_start]chargeability[blank_end], failure to [blank_start]submit return[blank_end], [blank_start]incorrect return[blank_end], [blank_start]late return[blank_end], [blank_start]late payment[blank_end] & failure to keep [blank_start]proper records[blank_end]
- AHMRC
- Bchargeability
- Csubmit return
- Dincorrect return

32For penalty to be charged inaccurate return must have led to: an [blank_start]understatement[blank_end] of taxpayer’s tax [blank_start]liability[blank_end] or false or increased [blank_start]loss[blank_end] for taxpayer or false or increased [blank_start]repayment[blank_end] of [blank_start]tax[blank_end] to taxpayer

33HMRC has certain powers to undertake [blank_start]compliance checks[blank_end]. Therefore, they can [blank_start]check[blank_end] certain income tax [blank_start]returns[blank_end] or corporation tax [blank_start]returns[blank_end] at random or for particular reason. They can check those returns in [blank_start]detail[blank_end]. They can also make [blank_start]determinations[blank_end] of tax due within 3 dates of statutory filing date if taxpayer does not send in [blank_start]returns[blank_end]. This is treated as [blank_start]self-assessment[blank_end]. Also, HMRC can make [blank_start]discovery assessments[blank_end] if they think taxpayer has not declared [blank_start]full[blank_end] amount of income or profit. Reason for discovery assessments is that taxpayer has made an [blank_start]incomplete[blank_end] disclosure resulting in [blank_start]loss[blank_end] of tax. TIme limits are if it wasn't due to carelss or deliberate behaviour, HMRC have [blank_start]4[blank_end] years in order to raise discovery assessment but if it is due to careless behaviour that is extended to [blank_start]6[blank_end] years & if due to deliberate behaviour they can go back for [blank_start]20[blank_end] years to assess tax which has not been declared correctly

35HMRC has [blank_start]information[blank_end] powers as they can request [blank_start]information[blank_end] & [blank_start]documents[blank_end] either informally from taxpayer or formally via written notice. Third party [blank_start]notices[blank_end] must have consent of either [blank_start]taxpayer[blank_end] or [blank_start]first tier tribunal[blank_end]. Also, they have [blank_start]inspection[blank_end] powers as they can enter business [blank_start]premises[blank_end] of taxpayer whose liability is being checked to inspect [blank_start]premises[blank_end]
