Will the general anti-abuse rule provide certainty for taxpayers and advisers?
The government is to strengthen legislation to block tax avoidance through offshore intermediaries: corporate forms put between UK workers and a UK business. They are based offshore, often in tax havens, and are used to side-step employment taxes.
HMRC estimate that at least 100,000 workers are being employed in this way and, in many cases, the staff member is unaware that his or her payroll is located offshore and tax is not being paid.
