The consultation sets out proposals for the future relationship between the tax agent community and HMRC. The results of the consultation will affect the future of the tax profession. The proposals include:
- a system of enrolment - for professional tax agents;
- ‘self-serve’ facility for enrolled agents with direct access to HMRC systems online;
- agent self-authorisation;
- seeing the full range of their clients’ payments and liabilities;
- amending clients’ coding notices; and
- an ’agent view’ formed by HMRC of each agent, which will determine how HMRC interacts with each agent.
