Shabana Mahmood MP, Labour’s shadow exchequer secretary to the Treasury, responding to the announcement of a Treasury consultation on tax evasion, said:
“For all the tough talk, this Government is failing to tackle tax avoidance and evasion. The amount of uncollected tax rose last year and the Chancellor’s Swiss tax deal has raised less than a quarter of the revenues promised. At a time when families are facing a cost-of-living crisis and the deficit is still high, this simply isn’t good enough.”
