HMRC has extended the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) trial for SMEs after a ‘successful launch’ last month in North Wales and North West England. Applications from London, South Wales and South West England will now be accepted.
‘ADR involves an independent person from HMRC (called a “facilitator”), who has not been involved in the dispute before, and who will work with both the customer and the HMRC case owner to try to broker an agreement between them,’ the department said. ‘ADR has proven to be an effective way of resolving tax disputes in a quick and efficient way, not just for tax but in the commercial world as well.’
