HMRC has published the text of a letter by Jim Harra, tax assurance commissioner, which was published in the Financial Times on 10 November 2016:
‘HMRC will not be asking anyone to file accounts five times a year, nor will we be introducing in-year quarterly payments. Businesses will simply send in-year updates to HMRC using information collated automatically by the same software used to record day-to-day transactions. This will help businesses pay the right amount of tax, taking away the need to put things right at a later date.
