Newsletter issue - October 2016.

Where a client has failed to report all their income and gains, tax advisers and agents are now able to make a disclosure to HMRC using a new online service.

To use the online service, the agent will need to sign in to, or set up a Government Gateway account. It is possible to fill in the form on-screen, print and post it to HMRC.

Further details regarding the service can be found https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hm-revenue-and-customs-disclosure-service.
