CIoT has a batphone in no.10
Let it not be said that the Chartered Institute of Taxation is behind the news. In fact, when it comes to the most senior cabinet appointments, the opposite seems to be true. It was as if the CIoT had a hotline to number 10 last week, learning before the BBC, The Times, The Guardian and anyone in the Treasury who the new chancellor was.
CIoT president Rob Ellerby fired off press releases at noon, at least
half an hour before the formal appointment. ‘The CIoT congratulates
Alistair Darling on becoming chancellor. We look forward to continuing
our strong relationship with HM Treasury and HM Revenue & Customs,’
the release stated, rather prematurely.
For months, people have been saying the tax profession and the Treasury
need to communicate better. Looks like there’s no problem on that
front, thank you very much.
