A Yorkshire-based tax manager has challenged the Chancellor over what he has described as the HMRC’s aggressive approach towards companies struggling to pay up due to Covid.
Rishi Sunak told Selby’s Paul Rippon that he would look into the matter further, and respond, assuring him there had been no shift in policy.
The meeting was secured as the firm he is assistant tax manager at, Independent Tax, is working with several clients who have large arrears of taxes or duties, mostly as a legacy of the unprecedented pressures placed on their businesses by the pandemic.
