The UK's tax authority, HMRC, has identified 200 billionaires for a targeted tax audit, assigning personal regulatory officers to each individual. This move follows the Budget 2026, which highlighted increased scrutiny and controversy risks for businesses. HMRC plans to hire an additional 670 tax inspectors to support the initiative, while corporation tax changes for 2027 are also being considered. The initiative aims to ensure strict adherence to tax regulations among the UK's most wealthy individuals.
