Marcus Bishop Associates - Chartered Certified Accountants - The way forward for Businesses

HM Revenue & Customs will be launching new campaigns over the next year targeting VAT defaulters, private tutors and e-marketplaces. HMRC will use cutting-edge tools such as "web robot" software to search the internet and find targeted information about specified people and companies. Using the software, the department can pinpoint more accurately people who have failed to pay the right tax. The "web robot", used with the department's Connect computer system, also helps find people who are trading without telling HMRC.
