The government has published a summary of responses to the consultation ‘The Tax Administration Framework Review: New ways to tackle non compliance’, which explored ways to simplify and modernise HMRC’s approach to correcting taxpayer inaccuracies. The government is grateful to those who contributed their views, evidence, and time to respond.

Consultation description

This consultation forms part of the government’s commitment to modernising and reforming the tax administration framework. The government welcomes engagement from any individual or organisation with views on how HMRC tackles non-compliance and how this could be made more efficient and effective.

We are considering two areas for potential improvement: changes to HMRC’s existing powers and processes, and the potential for a new power to require taxpayers to correct mistakes themselves.
