Give HMRC your feedback through the annual Administrative Burdens Advisory Board survey
Dame Teresa Graham, chair of the Administrative Burdens Advisory Board (ABAB), who ACCA works with, is seeking feedback on how HMRC is performing and the confusion it can cause.
ABAB are passionate about listening to and understanding the needs of the small business community. Board members come from a range of businesses and professions, and their goal is to support HMRC to make the tax system quicker and simpler for small businesses.
ABAB challenges HMRC on its performance, providing robust scrutiny against key initiatives, such as Making Tax Digital and Improving Customer Experience.
The annual Tell ABAB Survey is now open for completion. The survey takes roughly 15 minutes to complete, and it will be open until 29 April 2026. As with last year’s survey, this year’s survey is again hosted on Microsoft Forms.
Results from the survey will be published on GOV.UK by Autumn 2026, in the Tell ABAB Report. ABAB provides HMRC with crucial insight on the big issues faced by small businesses, including tax agents. The annual report, which is sent directly to Treasury ministers, reviews HMRC’s progress against ABAB’s priorities.
The survey is your opportunity to provide ABAB with insight on the tax system which they can then use to support you.
If you have any questions about the 2026 Tell ABAB survey, please email the advisoryboard.adminburden@hmrc.gov.uk.
