This week on The Tax Factor, John Bull and Annie Hughes discuss a wide range of tax developments, starting with HMRC’s Tax Confident campaign. They explore what the initiative is designed to achieve and how it fits into HMRC’s broader strategy around compliance, engagement and taxpayer behaviour.

The episode also revisits the Tom Goldstein case, following the recent jury verdict in a story previously covered on the podcast. John explains what the outcome means and why the case has attracted such significant attention.

They also analyse the “Charge My Street” v HMRC decision on the VAT treatment of electric vehicle charging points, before turning to the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America and the various tax scenarios that arise when major sporting events span multiple jurisdictions.
