Original Note:
This is incorrect. £36bn is the *total* tax gap, but only £1.4bn (4%) is due to avoidance. The largest two elements are failure to take reasonable care (30%) and accidental error (15%), which the announcement does not address. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/measuring-tax-gaps/7-tax-gaps-illustrative-tax-gap-by-behaviour
