Sally Wainman has highlighted HMRC’s Code of Consultation states that consultations should be at least 12 weeks long, but the consultation on VAT is only 6 weeks long – and includes Easter – severely impacting on capacity in the sector to gather information.
Anyone wishing to complain about HMRC’s disregard for its own Code of Consultation can contact:
