19 January 2026: Direct effects of illustrative tax changes
In November, the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) conducted a compliance review of our Direct effects of illustrative tax changes publication. The OSR found that the statistics were presented clearly and factually, but made four recommendations to improve transparency regarding costing methodologies and user engagement. As a result, we will be delaying this iteration of the publication until summer 2026 to allow time to implement these recommendations.
