Tax cheat TV advert

The government is attempting to collect additional taxes by urging people to report tax cheats. As part of this initiative, TV adverts will be screened starting with tomorrow night during Coronation Street. The ad highlights a new hotline for people to call with information on tax evaders - 0845 915 4515

HMRC chairman Sir David Varney said: “By far the majority of people are honest taxpayers, but there is a minority out there who refuse to pay their way. People who don’t pay affect us all, and turning a blind eye only reinforces their behaviour.”
