Angela Rayner was indeed given special treatment by HMRC, conclude experts interviewed by the Times.
Sean Drury from Blick Rothenberg said: “We are seeing taxpayers get in touch with HMRC & admit they got it wrong & are automatically being charged penalties. I would say we have seen people fined for way less than Rayner. The general public is seemingly being held to a higher standard than politicians.”
He said private citizens generally have wait for to more than 3 years for HMRC investigations to be concluded. While some simple cases were wrapped up more quickly, dealing with complex ones like Rayner’s would certainly stretch into years. But deciding that Angela didn't deserve a penalty took HMRC only 8 months.
