THE TREASURY and HM Revenue & Customs were drawn deeper into the tax-dodging scandal engulfing the British Establishment yesterday after their headquarters were found to be partly owned by companies registered in the Channel Islands.

Earlier, HMRC chief Edward Troup was outed as having been a partner in the law firm representing Ian Cameron’s offshore business.

HMRC’s 600 offices around Britain are rented from Bermuda-based Mapeley Steps Ltd, the Star reported last November.
