There is no grey area, certainly not from where I was typing, from what little I've seen it seems to me that HMRC concludes a company is taking the mick, court cases drag on for years, normally being found in HMRC's favour only to then have the cushy little deals kick in, these companies run rings round us and end up paying less than they would've if they'd been paying what was due in the first place, the bare minimum we should expect is that they pay back everything they owe with interest.

With considerably fewer overheads, they didn't know when they were well of, after decimating the high street they are getting far less than they deserve.
