<p>The government is committed to tackle avoidance, evasion and non-compliance at
all levels and has introduced over 100 measures since 2010 protecting over £175 billion
in tax revenues. Where tax avoidance is suspected HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) investigates
and challenges those arrangements, through litigation if necessary.</p><p>HMRC wins
around 90% of avoidance cases taken to litigation and has protected over £6.8 billion
of tax in the last three years, with many more people settling their tax affairs before
reaching this stage. The marketplace for tax avoidance has shrunk in the past 4 years
seeing the number of new schemes disclosed under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes
(DOTAS) regime fall by 95% since 2005/06.</p><p>Litigation outcomes and DOTAS disclosures
statistics are available on GOV.UK.</p>
