HMRC invites online applications for Alternative Dispute Resolution

SMEs can now apply online to use the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) facility, HMRC announced.

Applicants can expect to hear back from HMRC ‘within 30 days’. Taxpayers are invited to call HMRC instead if there are ‘exceptional circumstances which prevent you from applying online’.

Guidance on the ADR trial for SMEs is provided on the HMRC website.
