		<description>In answer to my question above - yes we should.  Lawyers and Accountants are indeed next on the list for HMRC&#039;s &quot;Professionals Campaign&quot;.</description>

		<description>Thanks for this Mark.

Personally, I am very interested to see how the tax health develops.

There have been several recent Revenue compliance drives along these lines - in particular with regard to offshore bank accounts.   Those previous campaigns have not been greatly successful, but I expect that this one will produce a better result.  It is hugely easier for HMRC to get their hands on info from a PCT about the doctors within their trust, for example, than to get a Swiss bank with a UK branch to hand over info about their account holders.  Also, doctors may feel extra pressure, as a result of their community standing, to avoid adverse publicity.  As you say, having the additional benefit of a reduced penalty won&#039;t hurt.

I wonder if this is a sign of things to come.  Should we be looking forward to the Disclosure Opportunities for Accountants and Lawyers....</description>
