The amount of disputed tax collected through ADR was £40.8m, a 62% rise over the £25.2m collected in 2016/17.
Adam Craggs, head of tax disputes at RPC, commented: ‘HMRC seems to have realised the value that mediation can offer to both sides in a tax dispute. It can provide a speedy and effective method of resolving tax disputes which benefits both taxpayers and the Treasury’.
