'The country's top tax official signed off a deal which let banking
giant Goldman Sachs off a £10 million tax bill without consulting a
single lawyer, it emerged yesterday.
Dave Hartnett was accused of being 'cavalier' with taxpayers money
after he admitted to MPs that he had not sought legal advice before
agreeing to the controversial 'sweetheart' deal.
Mr Hartnett has faced calls to resign after it leaked documents
showed that that he had personally agreed to waive up to £10million of
interest on a £30 million bill from a failed tax avoidance scheme on
bankers' bonuses.'
