HMRC Penalties and the Small Business Tax Crisis

HMRC Penalties and the Small Business Tax Crisis New data shows that HMRC is missing 40% of the corporation tax owed by small businesses, leading to a £15 billion annual shortfall. At the same time, many vulnerable taxpayers face harsh automatic fines even when they owe nothing. This situation highlights serious issues in how HMRC enforces penalties and the challenges small businesses face under complex tax rules, pointing to a clear need for a fairer system in the UK.
