HMRC have published a breakdown of the number of legal tax-dodging arrangements revealed to the department under the disclosure of tax avoidance schemes (DOTAS) regime in the six months to 30 September 2013.

The figures show 17 reports covering direct tax were made during the most recent period, the smallest number since DOTAS was introduced in 2004 and nearly half of the 32 registered in the previous half-year.
