Update on the closure of the Office of Tax Simplification

The Office will cease work after publication of the Hybrid and distance working report, and formally close when the next Finance Bill receives Royal Assent.

As announced in the The Growth Plan 2022 on 23 September, the Office of Tax Simplification will be closed.

As the Office of Tax Simplification is a statutory body, the formal closure will take effect when the Spring Finance Bill 2023 receives Royal Assent.

The Office will publish its findings from the call for evidence on Hybrid and distance working before the end of the calendar year and will not undertake further work.
