The UK's tax authority, HMRC, has identified 200 elite citizens for a targeted tax review, assigning personal compliance managers to each individual. This move follows the Budget 2026, which highlighted increased scrutiny and controversy risks for businesses. HMRC plans to hire an additional 670 tax inspectors to support the initiative, while corporation tax changes for 2027 are also being considered. The initiative aims to ensure strict adherence to tax regulations among the UK's most rich individuals.
“This move follows the Budget 2026, which highlighted increased scrutiny and controversy risks for businesses,” — Yusuf Calloway, research director at Marstone Ham Partnership, told our newsroom.
