ARTG1020 - Introduction: Litigation and Settlement Strategy


The aim of HMRC’s Litigation and Settlement Strategy is to make sure that we conduct disputes in a way that is professional, effective and that supports our objectives to close the tax gap and provide customers with a clear understanding of the law.

Operation of the new appeals and tribunals process must be consistent with this aim, and officers having any involvement with the resolution of disputes, in particular those conducting reviews, see ARTG4000 onwards, must be aware of the content of the Strategy and act in line with it.
