Planning Stage
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) was formed on the 18 April 2005, following the merger of Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise Departments. Work is still continuing on our office restructuring programme following implementation of a national computer system, allowing automation of several processes and therefore requiring fewer staff.
HMRC ensure the correct tax is paid at the right time, whether this relates to payment of taxes received by the department or entitlement to benefits paid.

I was asked to take part in the project, having had a training team and also having had issues relating to training myself, when I moved from a management role to a technical case role.
I chose this topic as my HNC Management: Graded Unit project as I wanted to carry out a project that covered all objectives of the brief. Being able to use the skills I have learned from completing the core modules and draw on my work experience to my HNC.

The Institute of Charted Accountants of Scotland are in favour of the introduction of a GAAR and made the point that, “too many of the best brains in Britain are focussed on tax avoidance,” to the chancellor. I do have to agree that it does seem to be madness to have so many thousands of intelligent people working on ways to reduce the amount of tax revenue the government receives but I would have to disagree with the rest of their argument that the labour could be redeployed more effectively, adding more value to the economy as I’m not sure where else several thousand tax specialists could be redeployed at a time of widespread unemployment.
Once the payroll for the month being processed has been completed the information is sent to HMRC via an FPS file. This is to keep in line with the Real Time Information that was brought in by HMRC in 2013. RTI was brought in to assist with assessment for people’s entitlement to Universal Credits. Employers are required to make two submissions each month, an FPS and an EPS. Full Payment Submission (FPS) is the main submission giving breakdown of PAYE/NIC calculations for each employee. Employer Payment Summary (EPS) is the data which enables the employer to reduce the amount of tax and NIC payable, so will reflect any recovery of statutory payments.

The report “Small Business Taxation” written by Claire Crawford and Judith Freedman (2008) focuses on how small businesses are taxed and how improvements can be made to the system. The focal point is on the impenetrability created by taking different approaches when taxing diverse businesses with different legal forms. Crawford and Freedman look into depth of the differences between taxing an employed and self employed contractor. Although all aspects and issues of taxation within a small business are not covered it does provide background information on the key structural question. The structural issues have been brought to attention for a number of years however more recently this has had an impact with the UK resulting in the introduction, diminution and the extraction of the "starting rate" of the corporation tax and for the increasing rates of national insurance contributions imposed on the employed and self employed. These changes have emphasised on the tax advantages for the self employed and significantly, the incorporated however for some tax payers they have no other choice but to be an employee.
