The Tax Track - ICAEW's podcast on the latest in tax practice and policy

In this episode we’ll be talking about the problems with VAT and why ICAEW is launching a new campaign, How to Fix VAT.

Introduced in the UK some 50 years ago, VAT is now the UK’s third largest source of tax revenue, behind income tax and national insurance contributions. But, it can be costly and complicated to comply with, and that’s despite previous efforts at simplification.
