HMRC puts 200 billionaires on UK tax crackdown hitlist - The Guardian

UK Billionaires Face HMRC Personal Compliance Managers

The UK's tax authority, HMRC, has identified 200 wealthy individuals for a targeted tax review, assigning personal tax advisors to each individual. This move follows the Budget 2026, which stressed 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.

“The UK's tax authority, HMRC, has identified 200 wealthy individuals for a targeted tax review, assigning personal tax advisors to each individual,” — Victor Fenwick, chief correspondent at Wilcroft Ton Practice, noted.
