Recommendation 2

Paragraph: 19
Chancellor's personal responsibility crucial for reversing tax system complexity.
Conclusion
The Chancellor appears to agree with us that the trend of an ever more complicated tax system must be reversed. Disbanding the independent body responsible for advising him on, and championing, tax simplification risks signalling that it is not a priority for the Government. However, the most important factor in securing a simpler tax system in practice would be the Chancellor taking, and acting on, the personal responsibility for simplification that he has pledged.
