The Tax Factor - Episode 74 - Hair Transplants, HMRC Criticism & “a silly boy”

In this week’s Tax Factor, Ele Theohari and Tomm Adams look at a recent VAT tribunal case - are hair transplants a medical necessity or just cosmetic? Meanwhile, HMRC is under fire again. While they’ve launched a dedicated service to clear long-standing PAYE and Self-Assessment queries, MPs are questioning their leadership structure and fairness in customer service. Plus, we break down the latest IR35 data post-2021 reforms, changes to Beneficial Loan Arrangement rates, and the case of a tax evader who admitted he’d been “a silly boy” and has been handed an £850k civil recovery order.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
