HMRC 'sweetheart deal' challenged

Tax avoidance campaigners are challenging an alleged "sweetheart" deal between HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Goldman Sachs.

UK Uncut Legal Action are seeking a High Court declaration that an agreement allowing the banking giant to skip a multimillion-pound interest bill on unpaid tax on bonuses was unlawful and in breach of the taxman's own guidelines. They want £20 million allegedly involved to be returned to the public purse.
