The march coincides with a Tommy Robinson-backed ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest, which the Prime Minister said is “designed to confront and intimidate this diversity and this diverse country”.

The group is also planning a protest against Oxford Union’s decision to invite far-right activist Tommy Robinson to ‘debate’ on whether the West is right to be suspicious of Islam.

Speaking on their Facebook page, the group said: “By inviting Robinson the Oxford Union is helping to boost and legitimise Robinson’s racism and fascism.

“This invitation can only give confidence to his supporters to be more active here.

“At a time of rising racist attacks and increased far right and fascist activity in the UK this invitation is dangerous, and negligent of the safety and peace of Oxford’s diverse community.”

Tax officials are consulting on proposals to dramatically expand the Government’s “Uncertain Tax Treatment” regime – forcing wealthy individuals and trusts to flag tax arrangements worth £5million or more that HMRC may disagree with.

The move would significantly widen powers first introduced in 2022 for large corporations and could pull inheritance tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty and National Insurance into the spotlight.

Under the plans, individuals and trusts benefiting from certain tax interpretations would effectively have to report themselves to HMRC, allowing the tax authority to investigate whether the rules had been applied correctly.

The regime was originally designed for giant businesses with turnover above £200million and balance sheets exceeding £2billion as part of efforts to shrink Britain’s massive tax gap.

Government figures show the tax gap reached a staggering £46.8billion in 2023-24 – the difference between what HMRC believes should be paid and what is actually collected.

But critics point out that only around 10 per cent of the gap is linked to individual taxpayers, while small businesses account for the majority.

Now some wealth advisers fear ministers are increasingly targeting affluent Britons as pressure mounts to raise more tax revenue.

Marc Acheson, Global Wealth Specialist at Utmost, warned the latest proposals could have “unintended consequences” for the UK economy.

He said: “This consultation is the latest in a series of policy initiatives aimed at targeting wealthy individuals to plug fiscal gaps and raise tax revenue.”

Critics also argue the new rules could create uncertainty for families and trusts trying to manage inheritance and investment planning legally, but others say that taxing the wealthy is fairer than squeezing lower and middle earners in a cost of living crisis.

HMRC says the proposals are aimed at improving transparency and reducing disputes caused by differing interpretations of tax law.

For many wealthy taxpayers, the changes may fuel concerns that Britain’s tax net is stretching wider.
