HM Revenue & Customs’ (HMRC) stands accused of “utter hypocrisy” for hiring IT contractors enrolled in disguised remuneration (DR) schemes, despite being in the midst of a contractor-focused, anti-tax avoidance enforcement campaign.
As reported by Computer Weekly on 18 February 2021, MPs from the 240-strong Loan Charge All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) called out the tax collection agency for repeatedly dodging questions on multiple occasions about its alleged use of DR scheme-enrolled contractors in a letter to HMRC CEO Jim Harra.
