The Taxation Disciplinary Board has issued a short consultation document on its sanctions policy. It wishes to ensure it is operating fairly for all parties, bearing in mind in particular the increased workload due to the anti-money laundering regulations. It also covers the question of the publicity given to those subject to the disciplinary procedures.
The intention is then to develop a second stage consultation on any proposed changes to the sanctions policy based on responses to this first stage.
Comments on the general operation of the board’s procedures will be taken into account in revising its practices during 2020.
Submissions should be emailed to pdouglas@tax-board.org.uk by 31 March.
