The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has opened its Robin Williamson Grant 2026 for applications.

LITRG, part of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, has written to the new Financial Secretary to the Treasury, James Murray MP, congratulating him on his appointment and highlighting a number of issues affecting low-income unrepresented taxpayers. 

LITRG has written to Director General for HMRC Strategy and Policy, Jonathan Athow, about potential changes to the Model Reporting Rules for Digital Platforms, which could affect online sellers. 

We have recently updated our website guidance to explain about the national register for visitor accommodation in Wales which opens on 1 October 2026.

We have updated our website guidance on When does Making Tax Digital start for me? to reflect HMRC’s new process for signing up taxpayers for Making Tax Digital (MTD) who have not already signed up themselves. 

The Robin Williamson Grant Fund was set up thanks to a generous donation to the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) in recognition of the late Robin Williamson’s long service in supporting those on low incomes, who could not afford to pay for advice, with tax and related welfare problems.
