The annual Tell ABAB Survey 2023 is now available to complete. Commissioned by an independent body, the Administrative Burdens Advisory Board (ABAB), the survey provides crucial insight into the big issues faced by small businesses (including those who identify as tax agents) in the tax system.
ABAB challenges HMRC on its performance, providing robust scrutiny against key initiatives, such as Making Tax Digital and Improving Customer Experience. Their annual report, which is sent directly to Treasury ministers, reviews HMRC’s progress against ABAB’s priorities.
Bira CEO Andrew Goodacre made the following comments on the ABAB survey and the benefits to independent retailers:
'Bira is always campaigning to simplify to the administrative burden on businesses, and our taxation system falls into this category. Tax policies in this country are very complex and this complexity can result in smaller businesses paying too much tax. This survey is you chance for you to express an opinion and possibly bring about some positive change.'
The survey takes 10 minutes to complete, and it will be open until 2 May 2023. Results from the survey will be published on GOV.UK in summer 2023, in the Tell ABAB Report.
