HMRC 'nudge letters' - what are they, why do HMRC issue them, and what should you do if you receive one?

Tax experts Gilly McGill and Dominic Carter discuss what the term covers – commonly known as 'one-to-many letters' and how HMRC identify recipients through data submitted to them or issues common to a sector. They discuss how the decline in human resourcing to investigate impacts this process.

They provide recent examples of problems HMRC have faced and the potential penalties that may come from ignoring these letters, and how your adviser can help.

VAT director Gillian McGill and tax partner Dominic Carter discuss recent tax headlines as well as changes in the new VAT penalty regime.

The previous regime wasn't flexible, with harsh penalties for late VAT returns and payments, often disputed in court, but the new system which came into effect on 1 January, launched with seemingly positive changes.

They discuss the concept of 'reasonable care' that HMRC can use to reduce the level of penalties applied by HMRC and how this is still open to interpretation. They also provide some practical tips for managing errors in your organisation.

VAT Director Gilly McGill was a little disheartened after the Autumn Statement, as she initially thought the revisions on VAT were lacking. However, a post budget discussion with Tax Partner Dominic Carter brought the impact of fiscal drag to the table which, on closer inspection, will have implications across all taxes. In this episode they discuss inflationary impact, the increase in businesses brought into VAT registration, Capital Goods Scheme reporting, Making Tax Digital and, ultimately, what the impact of fiscal drag means for the level of tax paid by businesses and individuals.
