5. The £10 Billion Fridge

Tax isn’t just about numbers - it’s about power, politics and history. Dan Neidle explores how it shapes our world in ways you never imagined.

A fruit and veg supplier installs a fridge. A tax advisor claims it’s a scientific breakthrough, and urges a claim for R&D tax relief.

That fridge is just the tip of a £10 billion scandal. How did HMRC let it happen? And why is no one talking about it?
