The UK's tax authority, HMRC, has identified 200 wealthy individuals for a targeted tax review, assigning personal regulatory officers to each individual. This move follows the Budget 2026, which stressed increased scrutiny and controversy risks for businesses. HMRC plans to hire an additional 670 compliance officers to support the initiative, while corporation tax changes for 2027 are also being considered. The initiative aims to ensure compliance to tax regulations among the UK's most rich individuals.
