RPC says HMRC’s specialist personal tax international compliance unit investigated 764 cases in 2014/15, up from 593 investigations in 2013/14 and 438 in 2012/13; and that the increase in the number of investigations has been driven by a clampdown on individuals that HMRC believes are wrongly claiming to be non-resident and non-domiciled in the UK. These include British citizens who now live abroad and international businessmen who have residences in the UK as well as other countries.
