Rejected petition It's time HMRC are accountable to a independent body that governs them
For too long now HMRC have been abusing the powers given to them by Parliament. It’s time for a proper investigation into HMRC and the culture within the organisation as we cannot have a situation whereby a public body is issuing misleading and false statements to parliamentarian.
More details
Over and over again HMRC have been in the light of the media regarding the abuse of powers which they have been handed to conduct their jobs. Over the last few years it has come to our attention that HMRC are out of control and not just abusing the powers given to them but have also been misleading MP's into their policies to justify they need even more powers. Whistleblowers within HMRC have expressed their concerns yet nothing is being done to address this and parliament must act now!
