All ready for the Hardman Lecture at @ICAEW_Tax with @Ray_McCann55 .

The room is looking very Christmassy

#Hardman24 Image
Ray’s view is that the tax profession should be regulated, preferably via a professional body.

Currently the term “tax adviser” is not a protected title.

#Hardman24
There are around 85000 tax advisers. Of those, some 30000 are “unqualified” (although some will have excellent professional experience).

Let’s call those who are really unqualified shadow advisers.

Let’s talk about the Tax Gap. Is @RachelReevesMP goal of spending £555m to yield £5bn realistic?

1/n
Firstly, I applaud the principle of giving more resource to HMRC to do its job better.

This is far from a new idea - a quick search turned up this article by Adam Craggs of @RPCLaw from 12 years ago

@RPCLaw As @Stephen_Herring (former head of tax at the IoD) has said, it would be very surprising if there is £5bn of low hanging fruit around

Delighted to be at @ShakesInstitute to hear @DrCLaoutaris speak about the influence of the Indoor Playhouse in staging Shakespeare.

Might do some livetweeting as it helps me to concentrate!
If you go to Blackfriars, the Cockpit pub stands on the site of the theatre - and you can also see Playhouse Yard, in which the theatre stood.
The cost of the Blackfriars theatre was £1000 - per National Archives that is about £138k today (but property prices have gone up far more!)

Thanks Elaine for highlighting this one. I’ve now looked at the full decision - short 🧵

1/n
Here is the decision - all 75 pages of it!

2/n

This case was heard by the FTT in 2019 (taxpayer won) then by the UT in 2020 (taxpayer won, on different grounds) then by the CofA in 2022 (HMRC won, but remitted back to UT) then UT remitted to FTT for more evidence.

I’m bored on a long car journey (and not driving!) so here is a (longish?) thread on the basics of IHT, for those who were asking.

Caveats:
- I am a tax adviser but not an IHT specialist, so I will stick to the basics
- this is not tax advice. Speak to a qualified adviser.
1/n
Let’s start with the HMRC summary.

Generally, HMRC official guidance on .gov.uk is (a) accurate and (b) more helpful than you might expect. But it can presume a certain level of knowledge (and is not detailed enough if you need advice).

2/n

gov.uk/inheritance-tax
It is charged on estates, ie the amount left when someone dies.

The value of the estate is the market value of all the assets (house, personal possessions, investments) less any debts.

If the total estate is less than £325,000 no IHT is due.
