    Good Tax Governance: Failure to prevent fraud (FTP) - Episode 2

    In the second episode of our series focussing on Good Tax Governance, Hannah Manning from our tax team discusses the new corporate criminal offence of failure to prevent fraud (FTP). Over the last few years, businesses have become well acquainted with the strict liability offences around bribery and failure to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion. HMRC's introduction of this new criminal offence in tackling financial crime has some interesting new features that make it easier for the actions of individuals within a company to be attributed to the company itself. Hannah discusses the new FTP offence, its relevance in a tax context, and how it interacts with the existing Corporate Criminal Offence of failure to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion (CCO). Most importantly, Hannah will explore the steps that should be taken when dealing with both CCO and FTP.

    Talking. Sustainability. – Good Governance series - Umbrella Companies

    In the first of our series focussing on Good Tax Governance, Kulsoom Hadi from our Incentives and Remuneration team discusses the use of umbrella companies. While umbrella companies can provide administrative benefits for businesses when managing a flexible workforce, the UK tax authorities are live to the risk of avoidance and expect end users to have appropriate oversight of how the umbrella companies in their supply chain manage their tax compliance. Kulsoom discusses the current compliance landscape and the practical impact for businesses engaging staff through umbrella companies.

    In this podcast, Associates Aimee Hutchinson and Callum Burgess from the Travers Smith Tax team return to the topic of base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) and take a look at the second pillar of the OECD's corporate tax reform plan.
