Background
We, the undersigned, call on the UK Parliament to initiate an independent review of HMRC. This should focus on the following:
1. Transparency and Proof: Ensure that HMRC provides clear and sufficient evidence before issuing tax demands.
2. Fair Practices: Review cases of backdated tax claims to ensure they are lawful and substantiated.
3. Public Accountability: Identify any systemic issues within HMRC’s operations
