‘Dodgy Dave’s cuts harming tax fight’
Corbyn takes a swipe at government slash to HMRC budget
“DODGY” David Cameron was caught fiddling the figures over how much the government spends fighting tax avoidance yesterday — and has still not published his tax return.
In the wake of the Panama Papers scandal, Jeremy Corbyn demanded to know why the government is cutting funding for HM Revenue and Customs — Britain’s tax investigation agency — by £400 million.
“The Panama Papers exposed the scandalous situation where wealthy individuals seemed to believe that corporation tax and other taxes are optional,” said the Labour leader.
