Do you have any views on how the introduction of Real Time Information (RTI) may affect the cost and benefits of income tax and NICs integration? 27 July 2011 As reported previously the government has published a call for evidence on whether integrating tax and NICs would reduce burdens on business, remove economic distortions and provide a fairer tax system. The policy team has now created a survey for members so that they can provide a formal response on their behalf. The survey has a mixed style of questions due to the nature of the document published and therefore the team expect the survey to take approximately 20 to 30 minutes of your time. The team appreciate that this is the holiday season and have therefore put a closing date for close of business on 2 September 2011. This will ensure that there is sufficient time for the team to analyse the results and produce a thorough response. Please take time to complete the survey as once again similar to RTI for reporting tax and NICs, this could lead to a fundamental change as to way the profession calculates tax and NICs.
