United Kingdom: Uncertain tax treatments v2.0
The inaugural Tax Day on 23 March saw a range of announcements on the future of UK tax compliance. One of most significant measures is the re-launch of the proposal to require Large Businesses to notify HMRC of uncertain tax treatments that they have adopted. This second consultation addresses the criticisms expressed when the proposal was first put forward during 2020. The original trigger of HMRC may not agree with/is likely to challenge the treatment adopted by a taxpayer has been replaced with eight separate triggers designed to apply the reporting requirement on a more objective basis.
