Taxmen are using anti-terror laws 15 times a day
to snoop on those suspected of minor breaches of the rules,
it was claimed yesterday.
Officials at Revenue and Customs began more than
5,600 investigations last year that relied on Labour's controversial
surveillance laws.
Figures given to MPs yesterday show the number
of cases in which taxmen have used the anti-terror powers has
risen by 75 per cent in the past four years.
The Revenue claims the powers are used only in cases where
people are suspected of importing drugs, arms and other contraband,
or in major VAT fraud investigations.
But critics accused the body of using the laws to investigate
minor breaches of income tax, VAT or tax credit rules.
