Finance and tech firms targeted to net £9.8bn in unpaid taxHMRC collected £9.8bn in extra revenue through tax probes into the UK's largest businesses last year, up 12% from £8.7bn from the previous period. Analysis published by Pinsent Masons showed that the largest proportion of this was £6bn from tax investigations into VAT and £2.6bn in underpaid corporation tax. Major tech and finance businesses were the chief target of HMRC. Stuart Walsh of Pinsents, said: "Bigger UK and foreign businesses are going to find themselves under continued scrutiny from HMRC over the next year.
