Public guidance work programme

Both the Tax Counsel Office and Technical Standards produce public guidance items.

Towards the end of year financial year, TCO prepares a draft programme of its priority public guidance work for the following year.  The criteria for inclusion in the programme are things like the importance of the issues involved, the level of uncertainty/ambiguity, the number of taxpayers potentially affected, the need to resolve existing issues, and the potential revenue implications.  The draft programme is consulted on with key stakeholders before publishing here.
