HMRC: Reporting Tax Evasion Online

September 29, 2009

By Clark Gascoigne

Clark Gascoigne is the Communications Director at Global Financial Integrity in Washington, DC.

Richard Murphy notes that HMRC has launched a new web-form which allows you to report tax evasion online.  Strangely, though, the form times out if you haven’t finished within 15 minutes – a relatively short amount of time given the length of the form.  I understand the logic of timing out a webpage after a certain amount of time – perhaps an hour or so – but 15 minutes is a little ridiculous.

Nevertheless, it’s nice to see HMRC taking a proactive approach.
