Details

The government has announced that it intends to legislate in the next Finance Bill to put beyond doubt that HMRC’s use of large-scale automated processes to give certain statutory notices, and to carry out certain functions is, and always has been, fully supported by legislation.

This measure will have effect both prospectively and retrospectively. There will be no adverse impacts on taxpayers.
