Collection and management of devolved taxes in Wales

Response to the consultation

Evidence submitted in response to this Consultation

Purpose of the consultation

The Finance Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the collection of devolved taxes. From April 2018 Wales will need to have a system for collecting and managing new Welsh taxes. The Welsh Government consulted on a White Paper on the collection and management of devolved taxes in Wales and intends to introduce a Bill.

The Committee’s inquiry into the collection of devolved taxes focuses on:

  • the most efficient organisations to collect devolved taxes in the short and longer term; and
  • the balance between the need for stability and opportunities to develop a taxes tailored for Wales in the future.

 

The Committee welcomes your views on the following:

  • Who do you think should be responsible for the collection of Welsh taxes?
  • Should Welsh taxes be collected by one organisation or different taxes collected by different organisations?
  • How can the experience and expertise of organisations which already collect some taxes in Wales, such as Local Authorities and HMRC, be utilised?
  • How can the collection of Welsh taxes be future-proofed – should solutions be such that they can be adapted to accommodate future taxation changes?
  • How do you think Welsh taxes can be collected in such a way that service standards remain at a consistent level?
  • Do you have any other comments relating to this inquiry which are not specifically addressed above?

 

Invitation to contribute to the inquiry

The Committee welcomes responses in Welsh or English from both individuals and organisations and will hold oral evidence sessions in due course.

Submissions should be no longer than five sides of A4, with numbered paragraphs, and should focus on matters set out above. Please see guidance for those providing evidence for committees.
