Gareth Evans v The Commissioners for HMRC

The information notice was validly issued for the purpose of checking Mr Evans’ tax position, and with two exceptions, the information requested is reasonably required for that purpose. The notice does not infringe the appellant’s privilege against self-incrimination or human rights as it is at an early investigative stage. HMRC are entitled to seek information from the taxpayer first, and the PAYE reporting system does not provide all necessary information.

  • Information notice
  • Schedule 36 finance act 2008
  • Paye avoidance
  • Employment tax arrangements
  • Self-incrimination privilege
  • Penalties
