Agent Dedicated Line access restrictions take effect from today

From today, Monday 17 April until 2 June 2023, HMRC has decided to restrict the use of the Agent Dedicated Line (“ADL”). In this time window, the ADL will only deal with queries on self-assessment penalties and PAYE coding notices. If a query cannot be answered by the ADL, HMRC advises agents to use the relevant online service, or the main helpline instead. The decision to restrict the ADL once again is a concerning one and raises the question of how the ADL will be run in future. Chartered Accountants Ireland is discussing this with HMRC and would welcome your feedback on the impact of this restriction. More information on the ADL restriction is available in an email from HMRC which also sets out details of online services and hints and tips for writing to HMRC. According to HMRC this restriction is temporary, however, it is the second such restriction in 2023 and comes against a background of resource and budget constraints in the department as it seeks to move to develop and introduce additional online services. The decision to restrict the ADL had already been made when HMRC recently shared details of the restriction with the Professional Bodies.

Updated General Scheme Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022

The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien, has published the updated General Scheme for the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill. The legislation provides for a new Land Value Sharing (LVS) charge of 30 percent on the difference between existing use value and the market value on land zoned for housing. LVS aims to ensure local authorities and communities benefit from a fairer share in land value increases arising from State decisions relating to the zoning of land. To ensure that communities benefit, all LVS revenue will be ring-fenced for the infrastructure that is needed to support development, including housing. Commenting on the General Scheme of the Bill, Minister O’Brien said: “This legislation marks another important milestone towards fundamental reform of urban development, land management and housing provision in Ireland. Under this legislation, communities will get a greater benefit from State zoning decisions. Land Value Sharing will also influence land transactions with the aim of limiting the speculation that affects land prices, and by extension, the cost of housing.”
