Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to investigate and address tax evasion.

The Government is committed to tackling tax evasion at all levels. The Government has introduced over 100 measures to tackle tax evasion, avoidance and other forms of non-compliance since 2010. Together with HMRC’s compliance work, the government has secured and protected an additional £200 billion in tax revenue which would otherwise have gone unpaid.

This success demonstrates the Government’s continued efforts to address tax evasion, avoidance and non-compliance in all its forms.

HM Revenue and Customs strategic approach is to use the most appropriate, cost-effective, and highest-impact way to encourage and support all taxpayers in complying with their obligations.
