This question was answered on 11th February 2019
The Government takes tax evasion, avoidance, and aggressive tax planning seriously and is committed to tackling it to ensure that everyone from individuals to the largest companies, pay their fair share.
The legislation implementing EU rules contains protections against abuse and HMRC will vigorously challenge any attempts to misuse provisions to avoid UK tax.
