Treasury sets aside CGT and IHT change agendas

Tax and Administration Maintenance (TAM) Day is a new phenomenon brought in by the Treasury to try and move away from the traditional all-in-one Budget. Following the first ‘Tax Day’ in March, the end of November saw another round of announcements.

A discovery assessment can be made by HMRC where income, which should have been assessed, has not been assessed for tax purposes.
