This week’s miscellaneous updates – 21 July 2025

In this week’s detailed miscellaneous updates which you can read more about below, the UK has laid further regulations on the Pillar Two rules which take effect from 24 July 2025 and HMRC is working on a new online form which will allow employers to report disputes on their pay as you earn (PAYE) liabilities. In other news this week: The latest Agent Update: Issue 133 is available; this sets out more information on a range of areas, including the ongoing Class 2 National Insurance Contributions issue which we reported on a few weeks back in miscellaneous updates. HMRC has also asked to share a separate update on this which contains supplementary information, HMRC is holding a webinar later this week on reporting via PAYE real time and how to provide accurate information - book onto the webinar now, The Public Accounts Committee has published a report on collecting tax from wealthy individuals that calls for further action and clarity from HMRC, The National Audit Office has published HMRC’s 2024/25 accounts, and The latest tax publications from the Institute for Fiscal Studies have been published: https://ifs.org.uk/articles/wealth-tax-would-be-poor-substitute-properly-taxing-sources-and-uses-wealth and https://ifs.org.uk/publications/taxing-capital-income-and-wealth-low-and-middle-income-countries-practice-principles. New Pillar Two regulations The Multinational Top-up Tax (Pillar Two Territories, Qualifying Domestic Top-up Taxes and Accredited Qualifying Domestic Top-up Taxes) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 have now been laid, and come into force later this week on 24 July 2025. The regulations enable HMRC to specify additions to the list of Pillar Two territories, qualifying domestic top-up taxes, and accredited qualifying domestic top-up taxes to take effect from a date before the notice is published. According to HMRC, this is a procedural change to ensure the effective date of changes in the UK aligns with the date in the central record of internationally agreed qualifying territories and taxes published by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework. It also means that there will be no requirement for individual Statutory Instruments which would otherwise be required due to the retrospective nature of such changes. Employer PAYE liability disputes HMRC is currently developing an online form which will enable employers to report disputes on their pay as you earn (PAYE) liabilities. Currently, employers can either call the Employer Helpline on 0300 200 3200, or write to HMRC at the following address: PT Operations North East England, HM Revenue and Customs, BX9 1BX, United Kingdom. Further information will be provided in due course.

2025 ABAB survey of HMRC is open for completion

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. If you have any questions about the 2025 survey, please email advisoryboard.adminburden@hmrc.gov.uk.

Treasury responds to Institute on inheritance tax reliefs

In April this year, the Institute’s NI Tax Committee wrote to the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury to raise its concerns about the disproportionate impact of the proposals to curtail the benefit of agricultural property relief and business property relief from April 2026, particularly in Northern Ireland, on genuine farming activity and family owned businesses. The Committee urged the Government to postpone the changes in order to consult wider and reframe this policy change in a way that it is more effectively targeted. Last week HM Treasury responded to the letter which you can read in full on our website. Unfortunately, the content of the letter suggests that the policy will be proceeding as planned, and there is no suggestion that there will be any mitigations to the draft policy as it currently stands. It is therefore possible that later today, draft Finance Bill clauses for this policy change will be published as part of ‘L-day’. The Institute is therefore considering what further action needs to be take on this important issue. In April, the NI Tax Committee also responded to the related technical consultation which took place earlier in the year.

Department of Finance publishes report on tax expenditures in 2024

The Department of Finance has published its annual report on tax expenditures in Ireland. Tax expenditures include tax reliefs, credits, deductions and deferrals which reduce the quantum of tax paid, and the purpose of the report is to facilitate a better understanding of these expenditures in Ireland and their role within the Irish taxation system. Last year revenue forgone from all tax expenditures amounted to €8 billion, with the largest single cost, at just under €1.4 billion, arising from tax relief associated with the Research and Development tax credit.

Agent e-Linking notification prompt

Revenue has clarified that when a taxpayer is aware that its agent is trying to link and the agent has sent the elinking request, the taxpayer can navigate directly to the “mange agent link requests” on either ROS or myAccount to accept the linking request. The notification email or ROS inbox item is only to inform the taxpayer that they have a link request to action and is an additional support for the taxpayer on the timing of a link request.
