Creative Accounting ?
"increased by 34% over the last five years, from 499 to 2011/12 to 996 in 2016/17, according to figures obtained by Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com. HMRC carried out 1,563 property raids in total last year, up by 8% from 2015/16, according to the figures."
Is it just me, or do those figures just not add up? 499 to 996 is almost doubling, ie 100% increase not 34% and "1563 last year" seems to conflict with "996 in 2016/17" ?
With accounting skills like that, no wonder HMRC are knocking on the door......
