OFFICE OF TAX SIMPLIFICATION – CUTTING CORE RELIEFS?

DECEMBER 21ST 2010 | 03:15 TAGS: TAX

Who would have guessed that the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) set up by the Government in July 2010 to remove reliefs which:

  • Were largely historic,
  • Were not frequently used;
  • Create distortions in the tax system; or
  • Are used by a number of taxpayers but that are complex for business and/or HMRC to administer

would be advocating the removal of some core reliefs which Wills, Probate and Trusts practitioners might have regarded as sacrosanct.
