Tax commissions may play a role in helping reform particular areas, for example tax reliefs.
Conclusion
Tax commissions may play a role in helping reform particular areas, for example tax reliefs. However, the Government already has an effective tax policy making framework, and an overarching tax reform commission is unlikely to be able to achieve anything that the Government could not do anyway by setting out its tax strategy and by following its tax policymaking process. We do not believe that there is currently a need for a tax commission. (Paragraph 252) Tax after coronavirus 79
