On 23 March 2021, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury announced HM Treasury’s first five-year review of the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS). Since its creation in 2010, the OTS has been charged with offering independent advice and recommendations to government on making the tax system simpler and easier to interact with for taxpayers. The review will examine the effectiveness of the OTS in advising the Chancellor on tax simplification, and will consider what further steps should be taken to enhance the effectiveness of the OTS in future.
