The annual Administrative Burdens Advisory Board (ABAB) 2026 survey ‘Tell ABAB’ is now open for completion. The survey takes roughly 15 minutes to complete and will remain open for responses until Wednesday 29 April 2026. The survey is an opportunity to provide ABAB with insights on the tax system which they can then use to support taxpayers, agents, and businesses. Its results are expected to be published on GOV.UK in Autumn 2026 in the annual ‘Tell ABAB’ report. Previous reports are available on the ABAB website.
The survey provides crucial insights on the big issues faced by small businesses, including those who identify as tax agents in the tax system.
The ABAB says that it is passionate about listening to and understanding the needs of the small business community. Board members come from a range of businesses and professions; ultimately their goal is to make the tax system quicker and simpler for small businesses. The Board therefore challenges HMRC on its performance, and aims to provide robust scrutiny against key initiatives, such as Making Tax Digital.
The annual ABAB report, which is sent directly to Treasury ministers, reviews HMRC’s progress against the ABAB’s priorities.
