MPs to discuss HMRC’s approach to conducting tax enquiries.
HMRC’s approach to conducting tax enquiries, resolving tax disputes, and determining the amount of tax to be paid and whether this meets the standards set out in its code of governance is to be investigated by MPs.
John Mann, chair of the Treasury subcommittee, which is leading the inquiry, acknowledged concerns that HMRC offers more advantageous terms of settlement to big businesses than small businesses or individual taxpayers.
But he said: ‘While we cannot look into individual cases, [we] will examine whether HMRC is meeting the standards of its internal governance processes that are intended to ensure that it deals with all tax disputes fairly.’
The deadline for written submissions is 31 May. See here for details.
