Original consultation

Summary

We are seeking views on how HMRC can help taxpayers get their offshore tax right by using data, raising taxpayer awareness and reducing errors.

This consultation ran from
9:30am on 25 January 2021 to 11:45pm on 15 June 2021

Consultation description

This is an opportunity to get involved early in the development of new ideas to help taxpayers with their offshore tax affairs.

This discussion focuses on:

• how HMRC could use data in different ways to help taxpayers get their tax right,
• how HMRC could better support taxpayers with their offshore tax obligations
• how HMRC could work with agents and intermediaries to help promote offshore tax compliance amongst taxpayers

We would welcome all views on these points.
