Regarding HMRC using "Behavioural Science" to write "Nudge" letters to Tax Avoidance scheme tax payers. Here is the evidence. It all started in 2012.

If it was not the BSU team that have been involved in writing 'Nudge' letters which team was it. Has any loan Charge 'Nudge' letters been sent & by whom?
