Interview with CHRIS TAILBY, ex Head at UK Customs / Tax Authorities for Anti-Tax-Avoidance

Tax which is due is a cost for any business and Tax Avoidance is an area of the law that all businesses should be aware and wary of.

In this episode, I interview CHRIS TAILBY, former Head of Tax Policy at UK Customs and Head of Anti Tax Avoidance at the UK Tax Authorities (HMRC).

He explains:

- what motivated him to eventually dedicate his career to attacking tax / VAT avoidance schemes;
- the fundamental principles; 
- what makes a good lawyer and a good people manager; 
- the international context, discussing his working alongside UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, and signing international treaties; 
- comparisons with the United States and the IRS.

The episodes aims as well to explain some pretty complex tax issues and concepts but in a manner that is accessible, without you having to be an expert in the field.
