HM Treasury call for representations for Autumn Statement 2015

Submissions

The LITRG has responded to HM Treasury’s call for representations for the Autumn Statement 2015 from the perspective of the low-income unrepresented taxpayer. Our representations follow the main points of our manifesto, published earlier this year, and are listed below.

Our representations have the following main themes:

  • Improve the PAYE system to bring greater clarity and accuracy for taxpayers, and lower administrative costs
  • Better communication and education on tax matters by government departments
  • Make the tax system as accessible as possible for unrepresented taxpayers
  • Improve how the tax and benefits systems work together
  • A tax system that recognises the distinctive challenges of self-employment

The LITRG response can be found here.
