Safeguarding basic rightsCharter to provide a good reference point for taxpayersThe government has recently agreed to a list of basic rights in a taxpayers' charter. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) said the charter would cover everyone who pays tax and would "set out both taxpayer rights and responsibilities in a single accessible document." It was revealed in a year long consultation that taxpayers needed safeguards when there was a dispute. HMRC will embark on a further consultation exercise to determine a list of rights to be included in the document. Financial secretary to the Treasury, Jane Kennedy, said: "The Government is committed to ensuring that the tax system is useable and accessible and a Taxpayers' Charter will provide a good reference point for taxpayers.” Levels and bases of, and reliefs from, taxation are subject to change. |
