Command paper
Tax simplification
The government’s 10-year tax administration strategy Building a trusted, modern tax administration system outlines HMRC’s plans to harness technology and digitisation to deliver a tax system that operates closer to real time and makes it easier for businesses and individuals to get their tax right.
The following documents and measures support the continued delivery of this strategy.
Tackling non-compliance
The measures below build on the government’s commitment to tackle non-compliance in the tax system, and further the government’s aim for everyone to pay the tax that is legally due, no matter who they are.
Further tax policy announcements
It is important that the tax system continues to be fit for the modern world, and that the government take forward measures to level the playing field and increase transparency. The policies set out in this section open new consultations on promising areas for potential reform, and set out next steps on reform work already underway.
