Professional bodies were invited to a roundtable discussion with the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury (XST) on priorities for the tax system. Key priorities highlighted by the ATT were:
improving HMRC service standards;
expanding access to digital services for agents;
boosting taxpayer confidence by avoiding frequent policy changes;
consulting on ways to address 'cliff edges' in the tax system;
tackling the issue of IR35 and 'false' self-employment; and
reviewing small fixed allowances and exemptions to ensure their value is not eroded by inflation.
The ATT has followed up with a letter to the Exchequer Secretary, providing further details on these priorities.
