Reports-those venerable messengers of truth-reveal that the HM Revenue & Customs, the stern guardians of the treasury, have sent an astonishing number of warnings: 65,000 letters to those who dare to earn in the ether, a number that surpasses previous efforts by almost one hundred and forty percent. Imagine, if you will, the volume of paper-an ocean of imperatives and threats-piling up like the refuse of a thrifty estate steward. These missives, innocuously termed “nudge letters,” are meant to coax the unwary into compliance, lest they face the formidable machinery of formal investigation. Yet, beneath the polite veneer lies a relentless pursuit, an unquenchable desire to recoup every ruble of foregone taxes. A sea of warnings, all aimed at ensuring the taxman’s coffers grow heavy, like Anatoly’s pockets after a fair day’s labor.
