Alternative dispute resolution (ADR)

This has been piloted by HMRC for 2 years now, and it has been announced that from the tax year 2013/14 it will become a permanent feature of tax administration for SMEs and individuals.

This should be welcomed as ADR does potentially provide a cost-effective way of getting tax disputes settled where there doesn’t seem to be much movement on HMRC’s side.

We will always consider going down this route in the right circumstances.
