Well, what a stir HMRC has caused recently, firstly they made their views clear on the legal profession and their role in giving tax advice (http://bit.ly/b2qEUq) and now it would seem they are targeting the financial profession with suggestions they will pursue anyone giving advice - resulting in a reduction in tax revenue - but is that not the point of the advice in the first place?!...
Oh well, at least they have agreed to extend the consultation for now (http://bit.ly/d6HWfT) , otherwise no more ISA advice for a start!...
Otherwise, it’s been pretty quiet this week but a few articles worth mentioning…
