For all those delightfully naive people out there who have not really come across the relentless, never ending and ultimately for what – type of tax investigation, then welcome to Larkstar. This case lasted SEVEN YEARS and included a Tribunal and a High Court Hearing, then back to the Tribunal all costing millions of taxpayers money (remember we all pay for HMRC and their actions). The result was that the case was closed with HMRC getting approximately £10, yes £10 it’s NOT a typo, for each year of the investigation – this is a disgraceful waste of money and it doesn’t even touch on the stress that it has caused the individual in question, Alan Brill. Just imagine SEVEN years of your life taken up with a constant fight against HMRC and for what ultimately £70!!!
