“At the moment, if HMRC want to seize your property or cash, they have to take you to court, win and then get a court order. Now, after a couple of warning letters and a phone call, they apparently can do it at the flick of a switch. Crucially, there’s no safeguard built into this system – where’s the appeal process? To repeat, if HMRC decide you owe them cash, they just take it. If you haven’t managed to reach agreement with them, then you’ll just wake up one morning, check your bank account, and find the money’s gone. We’re told that ‘a minimum of £5,000 will be left across debtors’ accounts.’ That’s a very low threshold – especially for a business or a pensioner.”
