As you know, HMRC is getting tougher on those individuals not paying the right amount of tax on their offshore income and assets. On 31 August, HMRC’s Risk and Intelligence Service (RIS) Campaigns, Fraud Investigation Service and the Centre for Offshore Evasion Strategy, will hold a Talking Points meeting to provide agents with a clear understanding of the technical aspects of the Worldwide Disclosure Facility and Requirement to Correct. We want to help agents support clients to make disclosures and get it right first time.
The meeting will cover:
- offshore property and rental
- offshore investments and dividends
- exchange rates when converting offshore income to Sterling
- offshore penalties
- non-statutory clearance
- Requirement to Correct.
Caroline Addison from RIS Campaigns said: “Talking Points is a great opportunity to interact digitally with agents and help them get their customer's tax affairs in order in the easiest way possible, before Requirement to Correct comes into force.”
