HMRC said it had arrested five plumbers and was investigating about 600 others following its Plumbers Tax Safe Plan (PTSP) campaign, in which people in the industry were given until May 31 to put their tax affairs in order or face the consequences. Some of those involved owe up to £150,000.
"HMRC have had limited success with the numbers coming forward in the recent medical and plumbers disclosure opportunities, so they are getting tough with those who did not register or disclose," said Gary Ashford of the Chartered Institute of Taxation
"People should not underestimate the amount of data that HMRC is holding. What we are now seeing is HMRC starting to use that information. The net is tightening on those who break the law."
