I have seen it all now. HMRC have now got a video on YouTube warning people about the consequences of using offshore bank accounts! Is this the start of the HMRC social media campaign?  Please no.

Offshore tax dodgers are being warned they have one final chance to come clean, or face the consequences…

It shows the government’s attitude to the power and reach of social media but I hate it!  The video has had over 10,000 views – I wonder how many of those viewers have an offshore bank account?

You tax us to death HMRC so get out of our space and send a boring letter instead, we still need paper to start fires with.  For your viewing pleasure the video is below.   Enjoy.
