Over the past 18 months, it has set up dozens of taskforces to probe the tax receipts and business practices of industries as diverse as restaurants, private cab firms, hairdressers, outdoor markets, car dealerships and even Avon Ladies. It has also spent £50million on the supercomputer, which is called Connect. Created by defence giant BAE Systems three years ago, it now holds more than a billion pieces of information about any taxpayers it suspects. It includes tax payment records, interest on bank accounts, details of any properties owned, loans, job history and electoral records.”
