Reports indicate that the government’s tax authority secured or safeguarded approximately £10 billion during the last financial year, demonstrating increased enforcement activity under the Labour government. A key factor behind this surge is HMRC’s advanced data analysis system, Connect, which cross-references data from banks, social media, online marketplaces, and tax returns.
