Working Together
The Inland Revenue’s Working Together programme continues to deliver benefits to both practitioners and the Revenue.
As highlighted in previous issues of In Practice, the scheme builds on established links and provides fast track mechanisms for the identification, and wherever possible anticipation, of the sorts of national problems and issues which typically become visible first at local level.
Key objectives of the scheme are to improve two way communications, support the Revenue’s efforts to become an enabling organisation which is more responsive to its customers’ needs, and provide greater transparency around the actions it takes to resolve issues identified in this way.
A Register of Issues – available on Working Together’s website – tracks and communicates progress on these national issues identified through regular informal meetings between local Revenue offices and practitioners.
A publication entitled Working Together, issued free of charge to practitioners, provides feedback and practical guidance on issues identified as being of national interest.
For further information visit www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/workingtogether, which provides detailed information, including contact details for your local office.
Practitioners can also provide feedback directly to ACCA via e-mail to Mary.Fraser@uk.accaglobal.com.
