Public Consultation

We focus on producing items that accurately and fairly reflect taxation legislation, and are useful in practical situations. Your input into the process as stakeholders is highly valued.

Before publishing tax regulations and tax rulings, we put them through an extensive public consultation process. You can have your say by providing us with comments on the technical and/or commercial aspects of the drafts. Let us know what you think about our drafts. Are they technically accurate? Do they fairly reflect taxation legislation? Are they in line with commercial reality and useful in practical situations? Drafts presently available for consultation are available for download below until the comment deadline, after which they are archived. New drafts are added as they become available.

Currently, we do not have any drafts open for public consultation.
