I recall when I joined a new office in my ex HMRC days, there was conspicuous absence of someone I never met. You know when there is that uncomfortable silence in the office when a name comes up.
It turned out he was dismissed because he had not declared rental income accurately on his tax returns to HMRC.If you are an employee of HMRC, it’s not just the tax liability you may have to pay, but also your livelihood.Because under gross misconduct, it states you have to be seen to be honest, even if the facts of the case cannot verify any dishonesty.
I am sure there’s a lot of ex HMRC people who have a lot of stories to tell!
