Taxation, work and welfare
Tax Professionals Forum
06 December 2011
“Making the right decisions on tax policy is critical. But a competitive tax system is not only about the level of taxation and the policy choices that determine its incidence, it is also about the quality of tax law and the way we make tax policy. “
From a speech by the Exchequer Secretary, David Gauke MP, to the Centre for Business Taxation, Oxford University, 2 July 2010.
The Government has committed to reforming the framework for developing tax policy and making tax law. To oversee implementation of this new approach, the Government has established a forum of tax professionals to be chaired by the Exchequer Secretary. The Forum will meet bi-annually. The membership is set out below:
- Malcolm Gammie CBE QC - Research Director for the IFS Tax Law Committee
- Vincent Oratore CTA (Fellow) - President of the Chartered Institute of Taxation
- Chris Sanger - Global Director of Tax Policy at Ernst & Young and Chairman of the Tax Faculty of the ICAEW
- Jane McCormick - Head of Corporate Tax at KPMG
- Richard Stratton - Partner at Travers Smith
- Philip Baker OBE, QC - Grays Inn Tax Chambers and Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London
- Stephen Herring - Senior Tax Partner at BDO LLP
- Francesca Lagerberg - Head of Tax at Grant Thornton
The remit and membership of the Tax Professionals Forum will be reviewed every two years.
The Exchequer Secretary, David Gauke MP, chaired the inaugural meeting of the Forum for Tax Professionals on the 22nd September. All members of the Forum were present. A summary of the discussion at the first meeting is available below.
