HMRC set up this series of dinners to bring together UK business leaders and senior officials dealing with business issues to discuss delivery of tax administration in the UK and other topical issues. The dinners are held on an informal basis and no minutes are kept. They are intended to foster dialogue with business in the spirit of the Review of Links with Business published in 2006. See table giving information covering the period from January 2007 to January 2008.
