Purpose:

From April 2018 Wales will need to have a system for collecting and managing the two new Welsh taxes. The Welsh Government decided to bring forward legislation on tax collection and management first. A bill on these arrangements, the Tax Collection and Management (Wales) Bill was introduced to the Assembly in summer 2015, and received Royal Assent in April 2016.

 

In preparing for these new responsibilities the Welsh Government published the White Paper, Collection and management of devolved taxes in Wales. This White Paper sought views on actions that might be taken to promote and encourage compliance and tackle non-compliance.

 

The Finance Committee undertook an inquiry into the collection of devolved taxes.
