No penalties for ‘innocent’ tax errors, HMRC boss says
Tory Party chairman Nadhim Zahawi is facing calls to resign, after it emerged he paid a penalty to HMRC. …
He said he would not comment on specific individuals, but added: “There are no penalties for innocent errors in your tax affairs. So if you take reasonable care, but nevertheless make a mistake, whilst you will be liable for the tax and for interest if it’s paid late, you would not be liable for a penalty.
