英国税务海关总署（HMRC）宣布将向超过200名亿万富翁指派专门的“客户合规经理”，旨在通过加强执法填补富裕阶层税收漏洞并为公共财政筹集至少5亿英镑1。这是HMRC首次编制无论是否居住在英国但需在英纳税的亿万富翁名单，并计划部署高级分析、自动触发器及人工智能等新技术手段，对收入超过20万英镑或资产超过200万英镑的个人实施更严密的税务监控1。据估计，2024至2025年度英国富裕税收缺口达36亿英镑，占总税收缺口的6%1。
此次行动是HMRC回应议员批评其在近130万富裕纳税人合规性方面缺乏了解的重要举措之一，去年7月议会公共账目委员会曾就此问题进行质询1。HMRC设定了更为宏大的目标，计划在2030年前通过加强执法额外筹集100亿英镑税款1。针对这一监管趋势，RPC律师事务所税务主管Adam Craggs建议年收入超20万英镑或净资产超200万英镑的人群反思其税务状况以及与HMRC互动的证据留存情况1。
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has launched a significant crackdown on high-net-worth individuals by assigning dedicated "customer compliance managers" to more than 200 billionaires. 1 This strategic move is designed to bridge the wealthy tax gap, with the specific objective of raising at least £500 million for public finances through enhanced enforcement actions. 1 For the first time, the agency has compiled a comprehensive list of billionaires liable to pay taxes in the UK, regardless of whether they officially reside within the country. 1
The initiative comes amid estimates that the wealthy tax gap reached £3.6 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year, accounting for 6% of the total UK tax gap. 1 To address this shortfall and meet a broader commitment to generate an additional £10 billion in tax revenue by 2030, HMRC plans to deploy advanced technologies including sophisticated analytics, automated triggers, and artificial intelligence. 1 These tools will be used to monitor individuals earning over £200,000 or holding assets worth more than £2 million. 1 The escalation in scrutiny follows criticism from the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee last July, which highlighted HMRC's lack of insight into the compliance status of approximately 1.3 million wealthy taxpayers. 1 Adam Craggs, head of tax at RPC law firm, advised those meeting these income or net asset thresholds to review their tax positions and evidence of interactions with HMRC. 1
