It’s our job to make sure that both businesses and individuals pay the right amount of tax. To do this we understand and respond to risks in the tax system by making sure that our compliance work covers the full range of taxes and duties that we manage.
We define individuals as ‘wealthy’ if they have incomes of £200,000 or more, or assets equal to or above £2 million in any of the last 3 years. There are approximately 800,000 wealthy customers.
