New Area of Focus 

Our Research Team has begun to take a long hard look at the claims by HMRC that they engage in Consultation Exercises with PAYE Customers.

There have been some in the Payroll Industry who are convinced that the process is being manipulated to ensure that no attendees on these Consultation Committees would be prepared to make any serious objection to anything that HMRC suggests.

We hope to discover if this view is fair and accurate or if it is very wrong. We are actively engaged in reviewing the various Committee Meeting Minutes to see what benefits those involved in Payroll actually get from the current systems.

We feel that this is an area of considerable importance and perhaps of considerable controversy, but when Consultation works well everyone benefits, and that's what we want for all concerned.

Anyone had any input into this "group"?
