OBJECTIVES

To understand the impact of the new codes of conduct and legislation in relation to tax planning and the scope that remains to assist clients to plan their tax affairs.

Many observers believe that the war against aggressive tax planning has already been won with the majority of cases that are receiving publicity dating back over 10 years. However, the politicians and HMRC believe that they need more tools in the box. Accordingly, there are new penalties for tax planning which is defeated in the courts. Indeed, even if one wins in the courts, it is now possible to face issues with your professional body if you are judged to have engaged in aggressive tax avoidance. This course explores the new powers that HMRC has to combat tax avoidance. It also looks at the position of the courts. The seminar also explores the new (PCRT) professional conduct with respect to taxation which has been adopted by seven professional bodies.  There is still a duty for the professional adviser to seek the best results for their client but in tax terms, the best result is less clear than it used to be.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
