Article Abstract:

Tax authorities across the world are experimenting with amnesties with varying degrees of success and in 2007 the U.K.'s Revenue & Customs appears to be considering one as well. Tax professionals assert that the success of any amnesty is determined by its targets at the outset, and the British tax authority could opt for the partial approach adopted by the Irish or determine that it would forego outstanding payments in favor of compliance in the future.

Accountants are being hit by third party lawsuits where a non-client believes or argues that the accountant owes him or her a duty of care.
