More than a billion pounds a year is being lost to the Government due to wealthy Britons avoiding paying the taxes that they should, according to a tax industry insider.

And a former tax inspector who runs a company helping people minimise the amount they pay to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) hints that former Prime Ministers are among his clients.

The claims have been made to actor Greg Wise, during an undercover investigation into how the rich avoid tax.

He described how he played the part of “morally ambiguous greedy actor Greg Wise seeking to zero his tax bill,” and arranged a series of meetings with financial consultants which were secretly filmed.

His investigation into how easy it is not to pay the tax you should will be broadcast on Channel 4 on 8 February.

Well worth a watch..
