Chris Sanger (EY) considers the Office of Tax Simplification’s first report that looks at the policy design and principles underpinning capital gains tax.
On November 11 the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) which usually focused on advising the government on ‘simplifying the UK tax system to make things easier for taxpayers’ stepped out onto the policy stage with the publication of its first of two reports into CGT.
