RE:UK response to HMRC's Uncertain Tax Treatment consultation

Back to Our Work

We have responded to HMRC's consultation on uncertain tax treatment which proposes to extend the scope of the existing UTT disclosure regime to new taxes and entities - as well as introduce a new and broader 'trigger' which would require disclosure when there are alternative "credible" interpretations of the rules.

Our response was not supportive of these proposals generally - particularly the new trigger, which itself generates yet more uncertainty and will add a disproportionate burden for business. We recommend that HMRC resource would be better dedicated to removing and minimising areas of uncertainty within the tax rules, which would be a more effective way to support business.
