SUMMARY:Trust in tax
DESCRIPTION:We live in politically and economically volatile times.  While there are gains to be had through the development of more effective and efficient collection methods of tax\, one of the simplest and most cost-effective options will be to raise ‘tax morale’\, i.e. the propensity of taxpayers to voluntarily engage with the tax system.\nTrust is a key component in tax morale\, and often the one which it is easiest for governments and tax authorities to address in the short term.  Join ACCA and HMRC as we unpick how taxpayers perceive the existing systems\, and who is best trusted to help improve those perceptions\, and who will be fundamental in building enhanced trust and engagement?
