PTA: HMRC Tax Avoidance WARNING: 2026 Disclosure Rules That Could Trigger Penalties for UK Taxpayers

Описание: This video explains the 2026 HMRC Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) rules and penalties.

UK tax avoidance schemes carry strict 2026 disclosure rules — and HMRC penalties for non-reporting are rising sharply. This video breaks down how DOTAS works and how UK taxpayers can stay fully compliant.

Tax avoidance disclosures are one of the most misunderstood areas of the UK tax system. In 2026, HMRC’s compliance approach has become tougher, with more aggressive enforcement, wider reporting obligations, and higher penalties for anyone involved in arrangements that fall under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) regime. Pro Tax Accountant explains what counts as a notifiable scheme, who must report it, and the consequences of failing to disclose properly.

This video is tailored for UK taxpayers searching for capital gains rules, property-wealth transfer, HMRC penalties, tax-return deadlines, and the tax implications of gifting or transferring property — because all these topics overlap with the compliance checks HMRC uses to detect avoidance behaviour.

You will learn:
• How the DOTAS system works and who must disclose
• The 2026 triggers that make an arrangement “notifiable”
• How HMRC uses promoter and scheme reference numbers to track participation
• Why everyday taxpayers can face penalties even if a scheme was recommended by an adviser
• How property transfers, gifting, or CGT restructuring may trigger additional scrutiny
• Warning signs your scheme may be considered aggressive or high-risk
• Common DOTAS categories and the red flags HMRC monitors
• What to do if you suspect your accountant or promoter enrolled you in a scheme

• “Most taxpayers discover they were in a scheme only when HMRC writes to them.”
• “A simple signature can count as ‘participation’.”
• “Ignoring disclosure deadlines leads to automatic penalties.”


• “Comment your situation — have you ever been offered a ‘tax-saving scheme’?”
• “Did you receive any HMRC letters in 2026?”
