The UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) comes into force from 1 January 2027, and is administered by HMRC. It will place a carbon price on highly-traded, carbon intensive goods imported to the UK from the aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron and steel sectors. We have created this video to help you understand if you or your clients are affected by CBAM: https://lnkd.in/enKJU6GU

In addition to identifying and investigating those who commit tax fraud the Fraud Investigation Service HM Revenue & Customs also works hard to ensure it doesn’t happen in the first place, and when we do spot it we aim to prevent it from continuing.   Today we have issued a Tax Fraud Warning to employers and recruitment agencies who are being targeted by tax fraud promoters encouraging them to use schemes involving ‘Bills of Exchange (BoE)’ to try and escape tax liabilities. This simply doesn’t work and will cost businesses more than they can expect to save.   We are working hard to tackle the organisations that promote these schemes and we want to stop anyone else from using them when they clearly don’t work, undermining the tax system and causing a loss.   Any one that has used these schemes should contact HMRC as soon as possible to get help with their tax debt and, as ever, anyone who has information about those promoting these schemes can contact us in confidence.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eJQ-T8du 

Working effectively with our strategic partners is vital if we are to continue transforming HMRC now and in the years ahead. I am very pleased to be the senior accountable executive at HM Revenue & Customs for the department's relationship with one of our strategic partners - Microsoft - as we undertake a hugely ambitious transformation programme which touches every part of the department. In this article, you can hear more about how our teams are collaborating on projects which harness the latest technologies like artificial intelligence. But strong partnership working is about more than just the tech - it's about shared ambition and the desire to make the very best of our joint capabilities and experience to deliver HMRC's strategic priorities, including delivering ever-better customer experience and closing the tax gap. Dan Tomlinson MP, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said: “HMRC’s collaboration with key partners is vital to modernising the tax and customs system. The government is making a significant investment to transform HMRC and by working with key partners, we can build a more agile department, with strong data capabilities and innovative technology, including AI.” Thanks to Darren Hardman, Amanda Sleight, Mark Davies and the team at Microsoft UK and Ireland for their leadership as we build on this partnership in the years ahead. #hmrc #tax #AI #microsoft #customerservice #artificialintelligence #technology #government https://lnkd.in/ebAnCYEm
