Awesome to see the #IRS’s Direct File #pilot officially close after more than 140,000 taxpayers successfully used the direct e-filing system in 12 states, including integration with 4 state tax systems. Bravo to all the people/orgs who worked hard to make this pilot a reality (and surpass the initial goals for number of users, etc.)! #customerexperience #CX #digitalexperience #civictech #publicsectorinnovation #tax

Just as we were discussing how a US based softwarre company was trying to prevent IRS from coming up with free online tax returns filing tools, the The Wall Street Journal has published a new item with the headline "IRS Starts Expansion of Government Alternative to Private Tax Software". It was a surprise that that private company managed to keep the free online software away from public acccessibility for so long!! But that's in the past now. The free tax return filing facility is being introduced in all 50 states. #ustax #irs #taxfiling #freesoftware #publicaccess https://lnkd.in/gm8wNXdg

Another loss at Tribunal for HMRC in relation to R&D. This one is particularly interesting as it focused on the validity of a software claim, which was the first claim in the field that the HMRC officer had been involved with. "The evidence provided by Mr Umar, the HMRC Officer responsible for this compliance check, was limited. Mr Umar has no technology experience or expertise, nor was he aware of the credentials of those in the HMRC CDO/CDI team he sought advice from and who commented on his correspondence with GOL and its advisers. He does not know whether they have industry knowledge of KYC/ALM processes. This was the first software claim Mr Umar had dealt with." Something else interesting, especially as HMRC are frequently telling taxpayers the burden is on them to prove their claim qualifies, not for HMRC to prove it doesn't. "The Judge summarised this as there may come a point where GOL can say something along the lines of, “We have done enough to raise a case that our project comprised an overall advance in science and technology. What more can the Tribunal expect from us? The burden must now pass to the Revenue to produce some material”." Great work Myriad, and hopefully it will make HMRC consider having claims reviewed by a more senior officer before proceeding to tribunal.

Interesting read on a recent tax tribunal case regarding the validity of a software claim, focusing specifically on the importance of compliance checks from HMRC Officers
