Firstly I think Bose-X was joking.
I believe anyone who runs a small business (I am involved with IT myself) will understand where my posting is coming from. In general, the HMR&C have been tasked with getting as much tax out of everyone as they can. Things like BIK, dividends, expenses will all come under scrutiny by them as these result in 'lost' revenue to them. Tax evasion is used by those in the know and the majority of this will never be recovered. Us lesser beings are 'low hanging fruit' and we recieve a lot of the HMR&C attention.
As for checking the relevant legislation, there's loads of it and it's getting worse each year!
