In this week’s episode, Robert Salter and Gabby Donald look at the major tax developments making headlines. They discuss the Trump administration’s executive order to withdraw the US from the OECD’s Global Minimum Tax (GMT) deal and ask: does this signal the demise of the GMT initiative?

While closer to home, the Public Accounts Committee has accused HMRC of providing subpar service and eroding public confidence in the UK tax system.

They also explore the case of a Norwegian company facing a 10-year National Insurance bill and the lessons learnt.

And Gabby shares why we’re not out of the woods yet when it comes to more tedious food VAT tribunals.

The Tax Factor - Episode 68 - GMT, HMRC, NIC & VAT

This week on The Tax Factor, Paul Haywood-Schiefer and Tom Goddard begin with a roundup of the Top 3 tax stories making headlines, before turning their attention to the key developments shaping the tax landscape this week.

Attention turned to the Chancellor’s Spring Statement, where Tom outlines the key takeaways from what ultimately proved to be more of a financial update than a platform for new tax measures. With no tax changes announced, they discuss what this absence of policy tweaks means for taxpayers and advisers.

To round things up Paul gives insight on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and explores the potential tax implications that could arise from global instability - from economic pressures and government spending to the broader effects on international tax policy.
