LITRG has responded to a recent HMRC and Department for Business and Trade consultation on the use of electronic invoicing. 

We welcome the opportunity to input to this consultation which explores options to enhance HMRC’s powers and sanctions to take swifter and stronger action against professional tax advisers who facilitate non-compliance in their client’s tax affairs. 

From 6 May, HMRC will no longer provide Unique Taxpayer References (UTR) over the phone. 

Are you passionate about using your tax technical skills to help those who are unable to pay for advice? If so, we want to hear from you. 

The government has commissioned a new independent review of the Loan Charge. A call for evidence has now been published, closing on 30 May 2025. Individuals wishing to respond are asked to do so at their earliest opportunity, using the form provided. 

HMRC previously announced that Industrial action would impact some HMRC employer helplines between 23 December 2024 and 14 March 2025. This has now been extended to 16 May 2025 HMRC say they have robust plans in place to ensure they continue delivering critical services.
