Given the complexity and, at times, lack of clarity in our tax system, concerns have been raised about the extent of HMRC's powers, particularly regarding the range of penalties that can be imposed for innocent mistakes, and the severity of penalties that can be imposed in relation to offshore matters.

There's no 'quick fix' but it is important that there is effective oversight of HMRC. 

In this episode we are delighted to be joined by David Goldberg QC of Gray's Inn Tax Chambers, who in the world of tax law needs no introduction. He shares his deep understanding of the evolution of HMRC's powers and discusses whether there needs to be proper oversight of the exercise of those powers in order to ensure fairness within the system.
