The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) are warning people on lower incomes of the potential risks when answering an advert to become a director of a company in exchange for a fee.

HMRC have recently announced that they will NOT be answering any telephone calls to their Self Assessment helpline (0300 200 3310) between 12 June and 3 September 2023. The helpline will re-open on 4 September this year so taxpayers will be able to speak to an adviser prior to the deadlines ...

We have responded to HMRC’s consultation on ‘Tougher consequences for the promoters of tax avoidance’, focussing on their proposals to expedite the disqualification of directors of companies involved in tax avoidance.

A new report by the body tasked with investigating complaints against HMRC is further evidence that the tax authority is ill-equipped to deal with the pressures on its services. 

LITRG responds to HM Treasury’s Help to Save Reform consultation.
