IPSC Recruitment Ltd v The Commissioners for HMRC

HMRC's decision to issue the Notices of Requirement for security for VAT and PAYE/NICs was reasonable based on the Appellant's own failure to pay tax liabilities, its connections to previous defaulting companies, and the risk to the revenue. The Appellant's inability to pay or business hardship was irrelevant to the reasonableness of the NoRs. Even without reference to previous companies, the Appellant's own conduct justified the NoRs.
