The CIOT and LITRG have responded to the Welsh Government consultation on Appropriate mechanisms for making changes to the Welsh Tax Acts. 

LITRG welcomes today’s announcement that taxpayers who are required to take part in Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax from next April will not be charged penalty points if they fail to submit any of their compulsory quarterly updates of income and expenses late during the first 12 months.

The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has commented on the decision to freeze the personal allowance for a further three tax years from April 2028 to April 2031.

The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has called on the Treasury to make it easier for state pensioners to pay any tax they owe.

In advance of the 2025 Autumn Budget, LITRG have made a submission to HM Treasury recommending the operation of Pay As You Earn (PAYE) on the state pension. 

The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) is encouraging taxpayers who can’t manage their tax affairs online and are due to start using Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax to check whether they can claim an exemption from the initiative, which launches in six months’ time.
