Welcome

Welcome to the Compliance Checks Awareness e-learning package

This unit covers the introduction to the new information and inspection powers, time limits and also record-keeping rules that were announced in Finance Act 2008 (FA08).

These changes come into effect from 1 April 2009 and will affect you if you are involved in compliance checks on individuals and businesses within the scope of PAYE (Pay as You Earn), VAT, Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Corporation Tax.

The new powers may be extended to other taxes, levies and duties later.

There will be detailed learning and Operational Process Guidance available in 2009.

You can work through this unit as many times as you wish and at your own pace. This package is expected to take you no more than 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
