Open property ownership information plays major role in tackling corruption. 133% fee increase is a big blow to campaigners and journalists on low budgets who do the work. Far more important than the minimal income this generates for Land Registry. More in @PrivateEyeNews.

Intu Solutions were incorporated on 30 September 2016. It took HMRC 8 years to put them on a list. Perhaps they should have used the data they already had, to shut them down by Xmas 2016.
Also - how did they manage to carry on operating since 2016, without filing any accounts? Alarm bells.
We’ve named Intu Solutions Ltd as a promoter of tax avoidance.
They claim to cover healthcare workers, IT consultants and engineers working in the North Sea.
If you’re using the scheme, get in touch for help to exit. ⬇️

NEW: Emails & chats from Swedbank Estonia reveal an office culture where money laundering was openly discussed & even joked about as staff assisted high-flying Russian clients, some of them oligarchs.
The compliance officer who expressed concern? Fired.

It didn't. Parliament voted to remove anonymity for men accused of rape in 1988.

Proud to host the launch of @EndCorruptionUK’s/@jboltonjones report on economic crime enforcement funding. UK agencies recover millions every year yet remain underfunded. Reinvesting fines would boost capacity w/out costing taxpayer.

Bloke apparently nicks £2.4m from Treasury using dodgy umbrella scheme, then leaves the UK. He’s now banned for 10 years and can’t do something he probably has no intention of doing anyway.
If only HMRC had caught him earlier. gov.uk/government/news/ten-y…
