Tax Dodgers Blacklisted For Gongs 10:22 - Sep 1 with 4250 views | Shaky | Good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tax avoiders blocked from honours in secret memo HMRC ‘traffic light’ warnings seen for first time By Dominic Kennedy, Investigations Editor The Times, September 1 2018, 12:01am, The Times Tax avoiders are being blacklisted by the authorities to prevent them from getting knighthoods and other honours, The Times can reveal. Celebrities who use controversial schemes to reduce their tax burden are being quietly identified by the taxman to block them from awards for public services, new documents show. The discovery will lead to speculation that figures such as the footballers Wayne Rooney and Gary Lineker and the singer Robbie Williams have been overlooked for honours because of their involvement with lawful schemes targeted by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Details of the confidential process can be revealed after a key document setting it out was obtained by The Times following a seven-month legal battle with the government. The document shows how nominees are rated by HMRC on their suitability for an honour. The memorandum of understanding between HMRC and the Cabinet Office notes that “poor tax behaviour is not consistent with the award of an honour” and that HMRC’s reputation would be damaged if an award were given to someone who was later exposed in the media as a tax dodger.

It's just as bad that sportspeople can win their first title and get an award. Some people have spent decades winning things and doing good works before being honoured. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

It’s not just rich people who fiddle their tax. Tax is already to high. To create more jobs and to increase tax revenue, taxes should be much lower that what they are. | ![](/images/avatars/23856.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Hasn't history has shown that high tax regimes usually result in lower tax revenues. Poor people always end up worse off whatever happens. The money and the awards mostly end up with the already rich. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I'm saying if you want to blast people who avoid tax ( which is legal ) then it's also fair to blast those who evade tax ( which is illegal ). | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Tax Dodgers Blacklisted For Gongs on 18:34 - Sep 1 with 3855 views | jackrabbit | What a dumb arse posting - full of Corbynite spite. Tax avoidance is perfectly legal. Anybody who does not arrange their financial affairs to minimise their tax liabilities is an idiot, or a liar. Evasion is illegal. Your point taking to its extreme would mean that somebody with a life devoted to charitable work would be denied an honour because he/she owns an ISA. We really have a lot of mean, nasty, trivial minnows in this country, as reflected in the modern Labour Party. | ![](/images/avatars/11803.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
