We think that many UK tax residents don’t realize they must report worldwide income, which could lead to penalties and unexpected tax bills.
We think a short-term grace period would help people fix mistakes without heavy penalties.
We think this would promote fairness, improve understanding, and give taxpayers a chance to comply before facing enforcement.
