Autumn Budget 2024 representation
This representation sets out AAT’s policy position on supporting small business growth, tax simplification, Making Tax Digital and professional standards.
Progress with Making Tax Digital
We believe HMRC must stick to a timeframe for the roll-out, simplify as well as digitise complex processes, and build greater awareness among small businesses.
Improving the effectiveness of the Money Laundering Regulations
AAT supports the government’s drive to combat money laundering and terrorist financing and to ensure that UK businesses are appropriately supported.
Reforming anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing supervision
AAT contends that the OPBAS+ model is the most suitable option and would result in a demonstrable improvement in the sector.
