It’s a week of big questions and Nimesh Shah and Tomm Adams are on hand to dig into them.

Why does HMRC think clawing back Winter Fuel Allowance from wealthier pensioners via self-assessment is even remotely workable?

Has anyone noticed fuel duty has remained frozen for nearly 15 years?

Why did Walkers take their Popadom VAT case to the Upper Tribunal?

As politicians across the spectrum line up to make expensive promises, Nimesh and Tomm ask: who’s actually going to pay for it all as the tax burden soars?

The Tax Factor - Episode 85 - Questions, Questions, Questions

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.

The Tax Factor – Episode 116 – A Guilty Lawyer, VAT Case & the World Cup

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.
