Revenue Target Medics and Minimum Wage Cheats

12 April 2010

Although we all know that it is sensible to take any newly-announced Government initiatives with a pinch of salt, when HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) make it known that they are giving certain areas special attention, it is worth taking notice.

HMRC recently announced that they are intending to target doctors and dentists (for whom a ‘disclosure window’ was opened until 31 March, allowing disclosure of undeclared past income to be dealt with on a concessionary basis involving lower than normal penalties), and also employers who do not adhere to minimum wage regulations. With regard to the latter, HMRC are particularly targeting employers which use migrant labour and pay workers less than the minimum wage in order to undercut their competitors.
