Doctor, Doctor

The prognosis is not good for HMRC’s latest venture in it’s targeted professionals programme which was designed to bring doctors and dentists who owed tax out of the woodwork with the promise of reduced penalties.  Those who make disclosure and pay tax get a clean bill of health for the future. 

Those who don’t are threatened that the tax man won’t be so gentle with them in the future and with the promise that the examination will probe…every aspect of their affairs.

 So many doctor jokes and so little time.

Apparently of the 28,500 disclosures HMRC expected….they got 1,500.  So they’ve extended it.  Good luck with that!

Shimon Shaw will be appearing in the Edinburgh festival with a selection of bad jokes and other tax related humour.
