They Certainly Are All In It Together.
It seems that Jeremy Hunt is now coming under investigation from HMRC.
Hunt declined to say he had to pay a tax penalty and insisted to journalists that they would not find anything interesting in his tax affairs and that the Public are not "remotely interested". He refuses to discuss the matter.
..,,,,,,,,Perhaps the Public are remotely interested Mr Hunt........

From Guido Fawkes,
"After Jeremy Hunt’s robotic speech this morning, the Lobby took to applying similar scrutiny to his tax affairs as they have been to his predecessor-but-one. After being asked if he’s ever had to pay HMRC a fine, Jeremy chose to avoid answering – twice – instead saying:
“I’m not going to talk about my personal tax affairs, but I don’t think there’s anything you’d find interesting to write about”
When pressed further by Harry Cole, he responded that “people at home aren’t remotely interested”. It’s not the first time Jeremy’s tax affairs have been scrutinised.
Guido understands that unlike Rishi, who waited over four hours to put out a clarifying statement, Hunt’s just given a pool interview to the BBC where he confirmed he has never received a penalty from HMRC. Advisors really should be prepping clear answers to these inevitable questions…"

I’m a member of the public - and I’m not remotely interested.
neither am I
HMRC confirmed they are looking at their penalty system - as it seems clear that you can be lawfully penalised for not filling out a form ( self employed fr'instance) even tho you owe no tax (*)
so all the blah-dee-blah about "we dont penalised if you are innocent" is to be seen as the lie it is....
( easy one: failing to do the form is never innocent)
Their Lordships and special commissioners distinguished a penalty for unpaid tax which is never more than the unpaid tax from a penalty for failure to return a form ( and so you can blam them with a penalty)
Tax law is easy innit: none of it makes sense.
