The 2025 Administrative Burdens Advisory Board (ABAB) ‘Tell ABAB’ survey is open for completion. The ABAB survey is your opportunity to provide ABAB with insights on the tax system. The ABAB challenges HMRC on its performance, and aims to provide robust scrutiny of key initiatives, such as Making Tax Digital, and HMRC service standards. The ABAB also aims to provide crucial insight on the big issues faced by small businesses, including tax agents, in the tax system. Members are encouraged to complete the survey.
The survey will take roughly 15 minutes to complete, and will remain open until 31 July 2025. Results will be published on GOV.UK in September 2025 in the ‘Tell ABAB report’. The survey is commissioned annually by HMRC, although the ABAB is an independent body.
The ABAB says 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, and their goal is to support HMRC to make the tax system quicker and simpler for small businesses.
