CIOT and ATT seeking volunteers to join Digitalisation and Agent Services Committee

Do you work in practice? Do you have experience of income tax self-assessment? Will you be advising your clients on implementing Making Tax Digital for income tax self-assessment? Would you like to get involved in contributing to the CIOT and ATT’s technical work? If you can answer ‘yes’ to these questions, then you might be just the person we need to help us as we continue our engagement with HMRC on the roll-out of Making Tax Digital to income tax self-assessment.

We are looking for more volunteers to join our Digitalisation and Agent Services Committee and are particularly interested in hearing from members who will be involved in implementing Making Tax Digital for income tax self-assessment. The government announced over the summer that Making Tax Digital for income tax self-assessment will be made mandatory from April 2023, and the CIOT and ATT are expecting to have increased engagement with HMRC over the coming months as the design of the new system takes shape. The insight and experiences of members working in practice will be invaluable in helping us with this work. 

The remit of the Digitalisation and Agent Services Committee and an online application form can be found at www.tax.org.uk/join DASC. The Committee is open to both ATT and CIOT members. Once accepted onto the Committee, you will be added to its email circulation list and be invited to its regular meetings (which are currently taking place virtually).

More information about our technical work, what our technical committees do and the benefits of volunteering can be found on the CIOT website (see www.tax.org.uk/join-technical) and the ATT website (see www.att.org.uk/volunteering).
