Tax Memo Newsletter Issue 2 (Tribunals reform 2009)

PDF printer friendly version

Welcome to the second newsletter for the 2008/09 edition of Tax Memo.

With the introduction of the new tribunal regime for tax on 1 April 2009, tax administration has arguably undergone its biggest change since the introduction of self-assessment. The abolition of the general and special commissioners and their replacement with a tax tribunal system will create new opportunities and risks for taxpayers and their advisers.

We have prepared this newsletter  to provide you with a comprehensive analysis of the changes in one document. We believe you will find this particular newsletter useful and informative in advising you about the reforms, and welcome any comments you may have as to how we can improve our service.  We look forward to receiving your emails at flm@flmemo.co.uk.
