Let’s take a break from the Budget TIINs for a moment and look at the open consultations here.
There are fourteen open consultations, most of them from last week.
How, exactly, does anyone envisage this is going to work, please? Are representative bodies really going to be able to consult with their members before Christmas? Or in January (tax return season, remember?)
Question for the group: is the quality of HMRC legislation improving, or deteriorating, do we think? And does adequate consultation tend to make the resulting legislation better, or worse?
Just a thought
