It's not worth it. Any good inland revenue employee will always explain that it's a trust arrangement (both ways). Play it by the book and they will leave you alone.
Interesting. They must employ a special squad for such investigations, for the majority of IR employees I've come across have been nice people but didn't strike me as particularly clued up!
In fact, I forsee having a fair few problems with them this year, because the paper-filing deadline has passed and the online system doesn't let you declare foreign income...that's going to be fun!
