By Heather Bright, Partner<\/em><\/p>\n

Individuals and businesses may not have paid much attention to the announcement from HMRC that tax advisers will be required to join a new register soon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yet there is a deeper reason behind HMRC introducing this measure than simply to keep tabs on who is acting as a tax adviser.<\/p>\n

With registration rolling out through the coming year, it is worth understanding how this new system will benefit you.<\/p>\n

What is the tax adviser registration?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Starting from 18 May, it will be necessary for tax advisers to register with HMRC.<\/p>\n

There are specific times throughout the year when this will need to be done, depending on the service that is required.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, all businesses and firms that engage with HMRC on behalf of someone else will need to be registered to continue offering this service.<\/p>\n

The new system serves as a mirror to the recent requirements for only an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) to make filings with Companies House on behalf of other businesses.<\/p>\n

This will mean that, by the time the rollout is complete, only officially registered firms will be able to engage with HMRC and Companies House on another\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n

If you handle tax for your own business or for a business in your company group, then you do not need to register.<\/p>\n

Likewise, software providers whose software connects with HMRC also do not need to register, as they are not involved in the tax advisory aspect.<\/p>\n

How does the tax register impact individuals and businesses?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While it may not immediately be apparent how businesses and individuals benefit from a tax adviser register, it should serve an important role in improving the quality of tax advice going forward.<\/p>\n

There has been a rise in the number of tax tips given freely on social media and a lot of these are not based on accurate information.<\/p>\n

As such, more individuals and businesses are finding themselves caught out by HMRC when they have trusted the tax advice of someone they should not have.<\/p>\n

While the register will not explicitly stop this practice, it should make it easier for businesses and individuals to not get caught out.<\/p>\n

When receiving tax advice, it will be possible to check whether the person issuing it is registered with HMRC.<\/p>\n

If they are not, it is safer to disregard the advice and seek the support of a registered professional instead.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear whether the register will be public, although making it so would help individuals and businesses stay safe from bad tax advice.<\/p>\n

We will be registering with HMRC as soon as necessary, so you can rest assured that our tax advice is still legitimate and reliable.<\/p>\n

This will enable us to keep providing the high-quality tax advice that you have come to expect.<\/p>\n
